Mole check clinic in Carindale, changing moles reviewed.
Our mole check clinic in Carindale reviews changing moles and any spot of concern as part of a full body examination. Further skin cancer checks, excisions and biopsies are all available in the same practice on Level 1 of Westfield Carindale.
Mole checks for people with lots of moles
If you have lots of moles, keeping track of them can feel overwhelming. People with more than 100 moles, or several unusual-looking moles, have a higher risk of melanoma and benefit from regular, structured mole checks. A family history of melanoma also increases the need for careful monitoring.
At our mole check clinic in Carindale, your GP examines all your moles, identifies any that look different and may photograph those worth watching, so changes can be compared at your next visit. We’ll also show you how to check your own moles between appointments and when to come back sooner.
In short: Carindale Doctors’ mole check clinic inside Westfield Carindale helps people with many moles or a family history of melanoma, with structured checks, photo monitoring of moles to watch and self-check guidance. Biopsies and excisions are available in the same practice. Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

Monitoring moles over time in Carindale
Monitoring is about spotting change. Our Carindale GPs compare your moles over time, so a mole that has grown or changed shape is picked up early, while stable moles can be left alone.

- A parent, sibling or child has had melanoma.
