Skin cancer check in Carindale, done thoroughly.
A skin cancer check in Carindale is the quickest way to get a changing, bleeding or non-healing spot properly assessed. Our onsite GPs check your skin thoroughly and manage anything suspicious through to treatment.
Spots that need a skin cancer check
Some spots shouldn’t wait for your next routine skin check. A new spot that keeps growing, a sore that won’t heal after a few weeks, a scaly patch that bleeds when you touch it, or a mole that’s changing in size, shape or colour all deserve a prompt skin cancer check. These can be signs of BCC, SCC or melanoma, all of which are easier to treat when found early.
At Carindale Doctors, your GP examines the spot closely with a dermatoscope and checks the rest of your skin while you’re here. If the spot looks suspicious, we arrange a biopsy or excision in our treatment room and follow the result through to treatment.
In short: Carindale Doctors offers skin cancer checks inside Westfield Carindale for changing, bleeding or non-healing spots, with dermatoscope assessment and a full skin check. Suspicious spots are biopsied or removed onsite. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

A thorough check, even for one spot
When you come in about one spot, our Carindale GPs will usually check the rest of your skin too. It’s common to find another spot worth watching that you hadn’t noticed.
