If a suspicious lesion or skin cancer is identified, your doctor will discuss the most appropriate next step. Depending on the type, size and location of the lesion, treatment may be able to be performed at Albany Skin Clinic.

Procedures may include biopsies and surgical removal of skin cancers under local anaesthetic. Where more specialised treatment is required, your doctor may recommend referral to a plastic surgeon or a clinic specialising in Mohs micrographic surgery, a specialised technique used to remove certain skin cancers while preserving as much healthy surrounding tissue as possible.
