Worried about unsightly moles, lumps, or bumps? 🔎 Most skin imperfections such as moles, age spots, skin tags, and warts are harmless and rarely a medical concern; however, some blemishes can cause irritation or affect your self-esteem. To learn how the doctors at our skin cancer clinic can help you with mole removal, please give us a call!

Skin cancers don’t always appear as obvious dark moles. Sometimes they look similar to your healthy skin, like this one recently diagnosed on a patient’s leg. Skin cancers may also be flat, raised, lumpy, or invisible to the naked eye. If you have a spot that looks different to the rest, get it checked for peace of mind – even if you’re not yet due for your regular check-up. A skin check could save your life.

Did you know outdoor workers have up to 10x increased risk of skin cancer? More than 34,000 skin cancers diagnosed every year in Australia are attributed to working outside.

Take action this month and book yourself (or the tradie in your life) a potentially life-saving skin cancer check!
