About this service
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, making regular skin checks an important part of preventative healthcare. At Winthrop Medical Centre, our skin clinic provides comprehensive skin cancer checks, lesion assessment and skin cancer treatment for patients in Winthrop and surrounding areas.
Our experienced GPs assess suspicious moles, sun damage and changing skin lesions using clinical examination and dermoscopy. We diagnose and manage a range of skin conditions including melanomas, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas and other concerning lesions. Where required, we also provide skin biopsies and skin cancer surgery performed in our clinic.
Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes, particularly for melanoma and other aggressive skin cancers. We encourage regular skin checks for patients with fair skin, high sun exposure, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or changing moles. Protecting your skin health today can help prevent more serious problems in the future.
