A Full Skin Check is a detailed visual assessment of your entire body to detect signs of cancerous or precancerous lesions.
This thorough examination covers your skin from head to toe, including areas such as the scalp, behind your ears, and between your toes. It is conducted by a skilled practitioner trained in dermatology and skin cancer detection, with many years of experience in the field.
During the check, we perform a comprehensive risk assessment by asking about factors like where you grew up, the number of sunburns you’ve had, the number of moles you currently have, your family history, and other relevant details. This helps us assess your risk level and determine the appropriate frequency for your skin checks.
To learn more about your risk and calculate it, please visit the Cancer Council Queensland’s website.
At SunSafe Skin Clinic, our experienced skin cancer doctors in Logan utilize both magnifying devices and advanced technology to examine and record your moles for future comparison. While these tools are excellent for enhancing detection, it’s important to note that some types of skin cancer cannot be detected by software alone and require the expertise of a trained skin cancer doctor.
During a full skin check, you may be asked to remove your clothing and wear a gown so our doctor can thoroughly examine your skin, section by section.
For the best possible detection, we recommend removing any makeup or nail polish prior to your appointment.
As appointments for full skin checks can fill up quickly, we advise booking in advance. However, if you have a changing mole or a concerning spot that requires urgent attention, we can accommodate you on the same day.
