Book your skin check today

Posted on December 19, 2016 in News

Summer’s warmth has finally arrived which means it’s time to hit the beach or get outside for fun in the sun. But when we do so, it’s vitally important to be sunsmart and protect our skin from the damaging UV rays in this part of the world.

Now that the warmer weather is approaching, it is a great time to consider booking an appointment with your doctor to have a skin check.

Warning signs of a potentially dangerous skin spot include the colour and size, change in shape, development of a new spot or anything else that seems unusual. Even if you have been sunsmart, it is important to check you skin regularly for any changes.

Annual skin checks are recommended from as young as 20 years of age. Skin checks are especially important for fair skinned people, red heads and people with lots of moles.

If you have notice a change in your skin or would like to have a skin check, call our reception on 5255 1022 to book an appointment for a skin check.
