Protect your skin: Skin cancer checks

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. That's why regular skin cancer checks are crucial. At our Merrylands Family Practice, the experienced GPs, with specialised training in skin cancer detection and removal, provide thorough skin examinations.

What to expect during a skin cancer check:

• Comprehensive assessment: The doctors will assess your individual risk factors and conduct a thorough examination of your entire body for any suspicious moles or lesions.

• Early detection: Early detection is key to successful treatment. We'll promptly identify and address any potential skin cancers.

• Personalised advice: You'll receive personalised advice on skin cancer prevention, including sun-safe behaviours and the importance of regular check-ups.

Skin cancer prevention tips: Prevention methods include wearing protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts and pants, applying SPF30+ broad-spectrum sunscreen every two hours, using a wide-brimmed hat, seeking shade during peak sun hours (10am-3pm), and wearing sunglasses that meet Australian Standards.
