Skin Checks and Procedures Elwood
Did you realise that the skin is your largest organ? It’s an important organ! Your skin plays a critical role when it comes to keeping you safe, so it’s always a good idea to look after it as well as it looks after you.
Although your skin is designed to protect you from the external world, there are some problems that can occur. When you’re unsure if that’s a dangerous mole or a smudge from the kids’ breakfast (and we’ve all been there), a skin check can make all the difference.
Skin Checks at Newbay Medical Clinic
Skin checks are just as vital to our overall health and wellbeing as bowel cancer screenings and Pap smears; however, they’re often overlooked or delayed. Newbay Medical Clinic provides skin checks to monitor skin conditions and detect skin cancers. Finding a skin cancer lesion early can be the difference between an in-office 30-minute procedure and needing a large area resected by a plastic surgeon, so when you notice a change, don’t delay in getting it checked out!
Our Skin Procedures
At Newbay Medical Clinic, we provide skin checks and identify and remove lesions whenever possible. Our Bayside-based network of dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other specialists can help us with lesions, not within our practice.
Please book a consultation with us to discuss your procedure request.
We can also help with the surgical treatment of:
- Ingrown toenails
- Cysts
- Warts
- And other skin conditions
Your Skin Questions Answered
The number and type of treatments you require will vary depending upon your particular circumstances.
It is difficult to provide cost transparency with such an individualised service, as costs vary widely depending on the required procedure, how long it may take, and the equipment needed. These should be discussed with the doctor during the appointment.
No matter your age, anyone who is concerned about their skin needs a skin examination. To determine how often you should have your skin checked, your doctor will talk to you about your risk factors. Generally, people over 50 have a higher risk of skin cancers and should get a skin check at least once a year.
The majority of skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet (UV), but genes, chemicals, and other factors can cause skin cancer anywhere on the body.
