Skin Check

​

  • We recommend that you book in for a double appointment (30 minutes)  so that we  have sufficient time to go top to toe and cover your skin lesions comprehensively

  • We use a dermatoscope so it improves the accuracy of our assessment 

  • If there are any lesions of concern, we will discuss management options with you.

  • Management may include observation, biopsy (taking a piece for testing), rechecking the lesion for changes in 3-6 months or to use a skin cancer cream, liquid nitrogen, removal/excision (we can do this here if needed) , referring on to a plastic surgeon for removal
