Skin checks in the Sunshine Coast
Queensland has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and living on the Sunshine Coast puts you at higher risk. A regular skin check is the best way to find changes early, when treatment is simplest.
Dr Mahmoud welcomes patients from Caboolture, Moreton Bay and across the Sunshine Coast.
What a skin check involves
- A visual check of your skin, usually excluding the areas under underwear
- Dermatoscope examination of suspicious spots and moles
- Discussion of any spots or moles you are worried about
- Biopsy of any abnormal lesion, if needed
- In-clinic treatment or a plan for next steps
How often should you have one?
Many people have a skin check once a year. If you have had skin cancer before, or your skin is more likely to be affected, Dr Mahmoud may recommend more regular checks.
Preparing for your appointment
Wear clothing that is easy to remove and remove any makeup. Think about any moles or spots you are worried about, any new or changing spots, and any family history of skin cancer or melanoma.
For cosmetic mole removal, see our mole removal page.
