Did you know that we do skin checks?

Skin cancer can be successfully treated if found early. In Australia, 2 in 3 people will be diagnosed with skin cancer.

We all know the way to protect ourselves from the sun is to slip,slop,slap but at times forget, or don’t think its necessary. Sunscreen application daily is important to protect our skin from the sun, even if you’re only outside for a short time.

Self checks are also important. If you see a spot that looks different in size, shape or colour, book an appointment to see your GP.

If your GP is concerned, they may give you a referral to see Dr Zubair Hossain, Dr Sanjay Verma or our General Surgeon Dr Clifton Washaya.
