Skin Cancer Check Up

A skin cancer check up involves a thorough history of factors relevant to your risks of skin cancers and a systematic skin examination to identify any suspicious skin spots. You may have some spots that are clear skin cancers and appropriate treatment options will be offered. Some borderline spots can be observed with dermoscopic photos and others will be recommended for a biopsy to clarify the diagnosis before definitive treatment is offered. You will be given advice, based on your risk, of how frequently skin checks are recommended. Those who have high risk of skin cancers may be recommended to have full baseline skin photography performed.

Dermatology Problems

Skin problems are a common reason for people to present to their GP. As the skin is such a visible organ, skin problems can cause a great deal of distress and difficulty. All GPs are trained to a certain level in dermatology however it is a vast field and many conditions are difficult to diagnose and manage effectively. Albany Skin Clinic doctors have a special interest and further training in skin problems and are well equipped to assist in managing a wide range of skin complaints. We are pleased to offer this expertise in our region which has limited access to specialist dermatologists. For some complex skin problems referral to a specialist dermatologist will be recommended and can be arranged.

Skin Treatments

The range of skin treatments available are almost as many as the number of skin conditions. Both prescription and non prescription treatments often rely on particular application regimes and detailed instructions may be given in order to get the best outcomes. Some treatments may require a compounding pharmacy to make up the preparation as prescribed by your doctor.

Our goal is for you to have the best possible outcome from your recommended treatment. If you are not satisfied with the results or there is a change in your condition please do not hesitate to book a review appointment.

Skin Photography and Mole Mapping

Digital skin photography can by a useful part of surveillance for skin cancers. Baseline photos can be used for comparison at future skin checks and allows accurate assessment of change in particular lesions or of new lesions developing. Lesions that are atypical in appearance may be suitable to observe with dermoscopic photographs to assess change at a 3 month interval. Some patients at high risk of skin cancer or those with atypical naevi benefit from detailed mole mapping to detect subtle melanomas. Albany Skin Clinic uses DermEngine software which enables comprehensive mole mapping. This may reduce the number of lesions that require a surgical biopsy. All photographic images are stored securely.
