SKIN CHECKS

Skin Checks

At Morningside General Practice Clinic the early detection of skin cancer is prioritised through comprehensive skin checks to assess any potential skin cancer risks.

It is strongly recommended for all patients to undergo a thorough head-to-toe review of their skin at least once a year. This allows the doctor to carefully examine for any moles, lesions, or suspicious areas which require further evaluation.

In cases where a diagnosis is uncertain, the doctor can perform a biopsy of skin lesions to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, for lesions which raise concerns, simple excisions can be performed.
