Skin Cancer

It’s the largest organ of our body, and yet the one we seem to neglect the most.

The best way to protect yourself from skin cancer is to use sun protection and have regular skin examinations by a doctor. Annual skin checks are a good idea, but if you are at high risk of skin cancer (see below), full skin examinations may be recommended every 6 months or less.

Early detection of skin cancer can improve the chances of successful treatment. You should become familiar with your skin, even the skin that is not normally exposed to the sun, and tell one of our doctors if you notice any change in shape, colour or size of a mole or freckle, or if you develop a new spot.

Am I at risk of skin cancer?

Everyone is at some risk of developing skin cancer. Your risk increases as you grow older. Most skin cancers are caused by over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

Your risk of skin cancer increases if you:

• have someone in your family who has had skin cancer
• have had bad sunburn before
• have fair skin
• have many moles on your skin
• spend a lot of time outdoors without sun protection or work outdoors
• have used solariums or sun lamps
• have a compromised immune system or are taking immunosuppression medication

At One 1Medical® Clinic we offer bulk billed skin checks. If we detect a lesion of concern we will talk to you about further investigation and treatment. Most skin cancers can be removed here at One 1Medical®, but some may require more specialised treatment and referral on to a Specialist.

One 1Medical Centre Gold Coast has been established for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of melanoma and skin cancers.
