Skin Health Checks in Fitzroy and Fitzroy North
What is it?
Skin Cancer Check
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. Skin checks are recommended once a year by the Melanoma Institute. The Institute identifies that 95% of Melanoma is caused by over exposure of skin to UV light. If you have suffered a sunburn, you are at an increased risk of skin cancer.
Melanomas that are detected and treated early on are cured in 90% of the cases. So, in addition to regular self-administered checks, it is recommended to visit a GP to help detect and examine any moles or skin changes that appear suspicious. Our GPs will use specialised tools and techniques to examine your skin thoroughly, beyond what the naked eye can see, and equip you with information about risk factors. Our GPs can treat some forms of skin cancer and may also refer you to a dermatologist if needed.
SERVICES & Procedures
Skin-Related Health Services
Initial skin check appointments are generally booked as standard 15 minute consultations. Our skin specialised GPs can often remove suspicious moles / skin lesions onsite at the time of this appointment if time permits, or at another appointment.
If a GP has suggested a follow up skin procedure, please call the clinic and let the receptionist know so the right amount of time is allocated to you. Skin procedures generally take between 30-45 minutes.
For all skin check appointments and/or if you have a suspicious skin lesion, the Medicare rebate covers a certain amount of your consultation and procedure value. Our appointment fees are based on the time and complexity of the procedures. The receptionist can give you an estimate of the anticipated out-of-pocket cost and your GP will inform you of the total cost prior to the skin procedure.
Who does it?
Skin GP Specialist
All of our GPs can provide a skin check, while Dr Patrick O’Sullivan, Dr Matt Long, Dr Catherine McBride & Dr Ovida Vipulaguna have specialised interest in skin cancer. Our GPs and patients are supported by Practice Nurses during procedures when required.
We provide onsite pathology collection, with the analysis being performed by the highly credentialed pathologists at Histopath in Melbourne.
