Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a skin cancer check?
During a skin check, the doctor carefully examines your skin for unusual moles, spots, or lesions and may use specialised tools to assess areas of concern.
How often should I have a skin cancer check?
Annual skin checks are generally recommended, especially for individuals with high sun exposure, fair skin, or a personal or family history of skin cancer.
What is a skin cancer excision?
A skin cancer excision is a minor surgical procedure used to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions for treatment and testing.
Is the excision procedure painful?
Skin excisions are usually performed under local anaesthesia, which minimises discomfort. Some mild soreness may occur after the procedure.
