Skin cancer check in Carindale, head to toe.
A skin cancer check in Carindale covers a full body skin check, mole review and any spot that's changing, bleeding or not healing. If something needs attention, biopsy or excision can be arranged onsite.
Skin cancer checks after a previous skin cancer
If you’ve had a skin cancer before, your chance of developing another is much higher. That’s why regular skin cancer checks become especially important after a BCC, SCC or melanoma. Your GP will check the scar from your previous treatment for any signs of recurrence and examine the rest of your skin for new spots.
At Carindale Doctors, we keep a record of your previous skin cancers, their locations and pathology, so each check builds on the last. Most people who’ve had a skin cancer benefit from checks every 6 to 12 months, and more often after melanoma, as recommended by your GP or specialist.
In short: Carindale Doctors provides head-to-toe skin cancer checks inside Westfield Carindale, with extra attention for people who’ve had skin cancer before. We review previous treatment sites, check for new spots and treat suspicious lesions onsite. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

See our main skin cancer check page.
Signs of recurrence to watch for
After treatment, watch your scar and surrounding skin for:
- A lump or bump in or near the scar.
- Redness or scaling that doesn't settle.
- Bleeding or crusting at the site.
- A new mole or spot nearby.
Book a review if you notice any of these.
