Mole Mapping

We provide detailed skin mole mapping services aimed at identifying skin cancer in its initial stages through a careful, manual examination by our well-trained experts. The procedure starts with a thorough consultation, where our specialists review your medical history, including family history of skin cancer and the occurrence of multiple or unusual moles. Next, our physicians perform a comprehensive skin evaluation with a dermatoscope, a specialised instrument that magnifies and illuminates the skin to evaluate the structure and features of moles and lesions with accuracy. If suspicious areas are detected, high-resolution dermoscopic photographs can be taken for close documentation and continued surveillance. The photographs enable us to monitor for changes over time so that early treatment can be instituted if any irregularities occur. Routine follow-up check are welcomed, especially among those who are at increased risk, to stay on top of skin health maintenance. This facility is important among those with a high number of moles, light skin colour, or who have a history of over-sun exposure and offers a precautionary method to identify potential issues before they get out of control. Through early detection being prioritised, our mole mapping services are reassuring and a vital part in protecting your skin health.

Cream treatments

The non-surgical cream treatments serve as a therapeutic method for treating basal and squamous cell skin cancers. Medical experts describe ointment treatment as surgical even though it removes tissue but this procedure requires no surgery instruments.

Curettage and cautery

Doctors use curettage and cautery to treat non-deep skin cancers together with benign skin conditions and precancerous cell clusters with a minimally invasive procedure. Professional medical staff first scrape away abnormal skin tissue with a curette until they find the instrument’s spoon-shaped shape then finish the process by using cautery to prevent bleeding and close the wound. Practising curettage and cautery provide fast and risk-minimized results as a procedure that specifically targets basal cell carcinoma (BCC) while treating squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen’s disease).

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy stands as a non-invasive treatment that uses extreme cold temperature to destroy abnormal skin tissue through cryosurgery. Doctors use this method extensively to treat precancerous lesions together with benign skin growths and initial skin cancers. Many patients select cryotherapy because it delivers fast results while needing small recovery time and being efficient at the same time.

Simple Excisions

This surgical procedure involves administering a local anesthetic to numb the targeted area, followed by the precise removal of the skin cancer using a scalpel. The resulting wound is then carefully sutured to facilitate proper healing.

Flap Surgery

This treatment process involves the strategic repositioning of surrounding skin tissue to close the wound following skin cancer removal. It is typically employed when:

The wound is too large to be sutured using the adjacent skin alone.
A traditional elliptical closure may compromise nearby structures, particularly on the face, such as the eyes and nose.

Graft Surgery

Similar to flap surgery, graft surgery is performed when the wound resulting from skin cancer removal is too large to be closed by suturing the surrounding tissue. This procedure involves harvesting a thin layer of skin (graft) from another area of the body, typically the upper arm or thigh, and carefully placing it over the wound to facilitate healing.

Margin Control Surgery

Margin control is a microscopically controlled surgical technique that involves the meticulous examination of all excised skin tissue for cancerous cells before closing the surgical wound, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas. This approach ensures the precise and complete removal of skin cancer while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.

Advanced Dermoscopy Evaluation

Advanced dermoscopy evaluation functions as a non-invasive assessment method that enables accurate examination of skin lesions. A dermatoscope functions as a magnifying instrument with polarised light that enables skin examination of structures that standard vision cannot identify. The tool functions significantly to discover skin cancer along with melanoma and dermatological conditions in their initial stages.

How to do a skin check?

Your most trustworthy observers of skin changes will be yourself and your family members because they can identify new or altered skin features better than anyone else. Familiarise yourself with both your skin moles and their locations while practising regular skin checks. The Skin Cancer College Australasia encourages the use of an easy-to-remember two-step alert system.

Australian residents hold the distinction of facing one of the world’s most elevated rates of skin cancer since 2 out of 3 people develop the condition by their seventh decade. The good news? Proper skin examination combined with sun protection serves as the primary preventive measures for preventing most skin cancers..

Breating the skin cancer epidemic

The risk of cancer increases with age, and as the population increases, the number of adults who seek treatment significantly increases. In all cancers, skin cancer is the most common in Australia. Each year, about 80% of all recently diagnosed cancer, including melanoma and non-moloronoma types such as both BCC and SCC.

Australia is one of the highest melanoma speeds globally in Australia, of which two of the two Australians are expected to diagnose skin cancer for the age of 70. Each year, around 434,000 Australians receive treatment for non-moloronoma skin cancer people daily for more than 1,000 cases daily for more than 1,000 cases daily.

Previously, awareness of risks associated with ultraviolet (UV) exposure – both natural and artificial – was limited. Today we understand that there is nothing like a “healthy body”, and more than 95% of skin cancer is associated with sun exposure.

How long does a skin check take?

A comprehensive skin check commonly takes between 20 to half-hour, depending at the variety of moles or lesions. This also consists of time for the doctor to check your medical history, as it may influence your chance of developing skin cancer.

What equipment does the doctor use?

At Skin Cancer Centre, our experienced skin cancer doctors specialise in dermoscopy. They use a dermatoscope to examine any suspicious spots closely for an accurate diagnosis. A dermatoscope functions like a magnifying glass with built-in light, allowing for a detailed, painless evaluation of moles and lesions. If needed, our doctors can also capture dermoscopic images to monitor changes over time.

What happens if the doctor finds anything which could be skin cancer?

Your doctor will immediately inform you of any value or spot needs further tests. To consider a suspicious area, they can take a small biopsy (sample) or remove the place perfectly during local anesthesia. In most cases, a follow -up is prescribed to remove unusual moles or lesions. This minor process is usually performed in a medical clinic, which eliminates the need for a hospital tour.

When removed, the sample is sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis. Depending on the pathology supplier, the results of the test are usually available within a few days.

What happens if skin cancer is found?

In maximum cases, when detected early, pores and skin cancers may be effectively treated with surgical operation, regularly leading to a full cure. While surgical removal is the maximum commonplace remedy, different options along with topical creams, radiotherapy, or mild therapy may be considered, depending on the form of pores and skin most cancers recognized.

What happens after the skin check?

Your doctor will decide the checkup frequency based on your susceptibility to develop skin cancer. The time interval between follow-up skin checks ranges from a periodic schedule of several months up to yearly or biennial examinations. The doctor will typically have automated patient reminders for skin checks yet your own calendar serves as a useful backup to track check-ups.

Understanding Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with around 90% linked to sun exposure. It includes different types, such as Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), and Melanoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Slow-growing, but can cause significant damage if untreated.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Can metastasize but curable if detected early.

Melanoma

The most dangerous form; early detection is crucial for survival.
