Comprehensive Skin Cancer Screening Services
Our skin cancer checks are designed to detect skin cancers early, when treatment is often simpler and more effective. Regular skin examinations are recommended for all adults, particularly those with fair skin, a history of sun exposure or sunburn, numerous or unusual moles, or a personal or family history of skin cancer. If you've noticed a new or changing spot, or simply want peace of mind, our experienced GPs provide thorough skin assessments and personalised advice to help protect your long-term skin health.
Our skin cancer doctors use advanced dermoscopy to examine lesions in detail invisible to the naked eye, catching problems at their most treatable stage. A full-body skin check at Merrimac is a careful, systematic examination — not a rushed scan. We take the time to examine your scalp, face, neck, back, chest, arms, legs, hands, and feet. We use digital photography for mole mapping and monitoring over time, and we explain what we find in plain language at the end of every appointment. You are always encouraged to point out any spot that concerns you.
