Skin Cancer Clinic

Skin cancer doctors in Werribee

Our doctors have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in skin cancer diagnosis, prevention and treatment. If you are concerned about a new mole or want professional advice for you and your family, get in touch with us today.

Skin cancer checks aren’t only for those concerned about recent changes to their skin. Living in Australia comes with an increased risk of developing skin cancer. Regular at-home mole checks are important, as well as seeking professional advice.

Full body skin cancer screening

Did you know that we can scan the entirety of your skin’s surface for the presence of skin cancer? After a short scan, you’ll also have access to immediate results.

We use the FotoFinder ATBM for total body mole mapping and dermoscopy.

Mole Mapping with the FotoFinder ATBM

The FotoFinder ATBM is an expert system with cutting-edge medical technology that has made full body skin cancer screening and skin cancer diagnosis easier and more reliable.

Unlike other methods that only scan individual moles, the FotoFinder ATBM scans the entire surface area of the skin, including the palms of your hands and soles of your feet. Bodyscan then assesses the full body images from the total body mapping and marks any lesions.

Through this method of mole mapping, melanomas are identified as early as possible through:

The comparison of the original and follow-up images
The display of any structural changes of existing and recently developed moles
Its mole analyser software that has a malignancy score
FotoFinder ATBM and the Bodysan helps keep even high-risk patients under control.

Immediate results

The Bodyscan results are available immediately after completion of the image acquisition and can be displayed with a single click.

Skin cancer diagnosis and treatment

If we do identify skin cancer or a mole of concern, we will provide you with treatment options. If necessary we will arrange a referral to a specialist.

Our doctors understand that receiving a positive result can be unexpected and upsetting, and support you through the process.

Early detection saves lives

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. According to the Cancer Council, two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70.

Sadly, more than 2,000 Australians die from skin cancer each year. With staggering numbers like these, skin cancer screening and awareness is more important than ever.

While everyone should monitor their skin and seek semi-regular professional advice, there are certain risk factors that increase your chances of developing skin cancer.

You are at higher risk of skin cancer if you:

Have previously been diagnosed with skin cancer
Have a family history of skin cancer
Have a large number of moles
Have a skin type that can be easily damaged by UV radiation
Have a history of severe sunburns
Work outdoors or spend lots of time outdoors with minimal or no sun protection
Have a suntan
Use or have used solariums or sunlamps

Skin cancer screening for early detection

Most skin cancers are highly treatable if detected and treated early. Please give us a call or schedule an online appointment to have our Skin Cancer Clinic assist you if you notice anything unusual, such as:

Any new spots, freckles or moles
Any change in shape, colour or size of a spot or mole
Moles that are bleeding or sore
A mole seeming a bit different or abnormal

Our general advice is to do monthly at-home mole checks and yearly skin cancer checks with a skin cancer doctor. If you notice any changes as mentioned above, seek medical advice as soon as you can.
