Keep your risk in check at Canberra skin cancer clinic

Every year, more than 440,000 Australians are treated for skin cancer. High UV levels mean an increased chance of sun damage and a greater risk of melanoma. Getting a regular skin check at Canberra MoleMap can help you manage your skin cancer risk.

At our skin cancer clinic in Canberra, suspicious moles are checked by two sets of expert eyes. First you get a full skin examination by a melanographer (that’s a healthcare professional trained in skin cancer detection). Any moles of concern are imaged and electronically sent to an accredited dermatologist for diagnosis. Plus, no referral for fast results.

“At my annual full body skin exam, the melanographer found a small pin-sized spot on my ear and recommended I have it examined further. It turned out to be cancerous. If it wasn’t for MoleMap, it would have gone unnoticed.”

What should I do before visiting a MoleMap Canberra skin cancer clinic?

It’s also best to avoid using fake tan, hand or toe nail polish. At your skin check Canberra you’ll need to undress down to your under­wear.

  • Skin type
  • The number of moles you have

How often should you get your skin checked?

We recommend booking an annual skin cancer check in Canberra. It’s also a good idea to do an at-home skin check. This is the best way to get to know your skin and spot any changes early. If you notice a new or changing mole, don’t wait — book an appointment at your nearest MoleMap skin cancer clinic to get it checked out.

What does melanoma look like?

Melanoma skin cancer is the most serious type of skin cancer. If left untreated, melanoma can quickly grow and spread to other parts of the body. Once it has spread deeper into the skin or other parts of the body, it becomes more difficult to treat. Recognising the symptoms of melanoma can help you to spot it early - when it’s most treatable. Looking at pictures of melanoma can be useful too.

What is a full body skin check?

This is our most comprehensive mole check at Canberra MoleMap. It includes a head-to-toe skin assessment and dermoscopic imaging of suspicious moles. Images of any at-risk moles are sent for dermatologist diagnosis. This skin check service also includes total body photography to map, track and compare new and existing moles over time. This is a great skin surveillance tool that makes it easier to spot changes early. Following your initial appointment, you have unlimited access to free spot checks for the next 12 months‚ in between appointments.

Can a GP tell if a mole is cancerous?

There are a number of different healthcare professionals that can provide skin checks in Canberra. A GP is one of them. They can examine lesions or moles of concern and discuss your skin cancer risk. Depending on their level of training, they may refer you to a skin cancer specialist in Canberra (dermatologist) for further assessment and diagnosis. The great thing about MoleMap skin cancer checks is that you have the benefit of two sets of expert eyes. First, a melanographer (a healthcare professional specifically trained in skin cancer detection) will examine your skin. Next, images of any suspicious moles are electronically sent to an accredited dermatologist for a second review and diagnosis. You get the peace of mind your skin has been double checked.
