Skin Cancer Check

Australia is known for its stunning landscapes, but it also has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. At East Ryde Doctors, we emphasize the importance of prevention, early detection, and treatment of skin cancers to ensure the health and well-being of our patients.

​

Why Skin Cancer Checks are Essential


Prevention, early detection, and timely treatment are crucial in combating skin cancer. We encourage regular self-examination of your skin every 2-3 months for any changes. Additionally, we recommend a thorough full-body skin check with one of our doctors every 12-24 months to detect any potential skin cancers early.

​

At East Ryde Doctors, we are equipped to handle all aspects of skin cancer care onsite. Our services include:

  • Biopsies and Dermoscopy: Procedures to examine and biopsy suspicious lesions for accurate diagnosis.

  • Treatment of Sun Spots: Management and treatment of sunspots to prevent them from developing into skin cancers.

  • Surgical Procedures: We perform wide surgical excisions of skin cancers when necessary, ensuring thorough removal and minimal scarring.
