Three Reasons To Get Your Skin Checked… Today.
A large number of Australian’s aren’t aware that most skin cancers can be treated successfully if diagnosed and treated early. Which should be motivation enough for each of us to get to know our skin well, learn what is normal for our skin and be alert to any new or changing moles, freckles or skin spots on our bodies.
If you notice any changes, or anything new or different, it is important to seek medical advice as soon as possible, but it’s important to consider a doctor who is highly experienced and qualified to perform the skin check.
Ask your doctor:
- What are the qualifications, skills and experience of the doctor examining your skin?
- Does this doctor have any extra training in skin examination?
- Many skin clinics offer digital technology to assist in examining skin spots. It is important to remember that these are just tools that help the doctor make a diagnosis. The quality of the diagnosis still depends on the experience and skills of that doctor
Once you have had your skin checked, you should be provided with information about prevention of skin cancer; information on checking your own skin; or any additional follow up needed.
