Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in Australia, with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma being the most prevalent forms. These cancers often develop due to long-term sun exposure or tanning, and early detection is critical for successful treatment. Regular skin checks by a dermatologist are essential to identify suspicious spots, moles, or changes in your skin that could indicate skin cancer.

A full skin check helps detect skin cancers early when they are most treatable. Your dermatologist will carefully examine your skin, identify any concerning areas, and recommend appropriate follow-up or treatment if needed.

Skin cancer can be treated in many ways including surgery, topical treatments (e.g. efudix and aldara) and via light treatment (e.g. photodynamic therapy). All options can be provided for at Brisbane Dermatology Group.
