What Happens During A Skin Cancer Check?

A skin cancer check is used to assess moles, spots, lesions or areas of skin that may require monitoring, investigation or treatment.

Your appointment may include:

Medical history and risk review

The doctor may ask about your personal history of skin cancer, family history, sun exposure, previous lesions, immune health and any specific spots of concern.

Skin examination

The doctor may perform a full skin examination or a targeted spot check, depending on the reason for your appointment and what is clinically appropriate.

Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy may be used to examine moles or lesions more closely. This can help the doctor assess skin structures that are not easily visible to the naked eye.

Imaging or monitoring

Where appropriate, photographs or digital imaging may be used to monitor lesions over time, particularly for patients with multiple moles or higher-risk skin profiles.

Discussion of findings

The doctor will discuss any concerning findings and explain whether monitoring, biopsy, excision, treatment or referral may be recommended.

Treatment planning

If a lesion requires further investigation or treatment, your doctor will explain the next steps, risks, fees and aftercare where relevant.

What May Be Included In A Skin Cancer Assessment?

Dermoscopy

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive tool that allows the doctor to examine the structure of moles, pigmented lesions and other skin changes more closely. It may assist with identifying lesions that require monitoring, biopsy or treatment planning.

Mole and lesion monitoring

Some lesions may be photographed or monitored over time where clinically appropriate. This can be useful when a mole or spot does not require immediate removal but should be reviewed for change.

Spot checks

If you are concerned about one specific mole, lesion or skin change, you can book a targeted spot check. The doctor may advise whether a more comprehensive skin examination is recommended.

Biopsy

If a lesion appears suspicious, the doctor may recommend a biopsy. A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue so it can be assessed. The doctor will explain why a biopsy is recommended, what is involved, risks, fees and aftercare.

Excision or treatment planning

Some skin lesions may require excision or another treatment pathway. Where clinically appropriate, your doctor will discuss treatment options, expected recovery, risks, aftercare and whether referral to another practitioner or specialist service is required.

Photodynamic therapy

Photodynamic therapy may be discussed for selected precancerous or early superficial skin conditions where clinically appropriate. Suitability depends on the type of lesion, location, clinical findings and individual patient factors.

What happens if something suspicious is found?

If a mole, spot or skin lesion appears suspicious, your doctor will discuss the findings with you and explain the most appropriate next steps.

Depending on the lesion and your individual circumstances, next steps may include:

monitoring the lesion
photographing or measuring the lesion for review
biopsy
excision
treatment planning
referral for specialist management where appropriate

Your doctor will explain why a step is recommended, what it involves, potential risks, expected recovery, fees and follow-up.

FAQs of Skin Cancer Checks

What are types of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer occurs when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, usually due to ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world.

Melanoma

The most serious form of skin cancer.
Can grow quickly or more slowly depending on subtype.
Early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

The most common type of skin cancer.
Usually slow-growing but may cause local tissue damage if untreated.
Rarely spreads (metastasises).

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

The second most common skin cancer.
Often arises in sun-damaged skin.
Can spread if not treated promptly.

Precancerous Conditions

Actinic Keratosis (AK): Sun-damaged, scaly or rough skin that may develop into SCC if left untreated.
Dysplastic Naevi (Atypical Moles): Unusual moles that may have a higher risk of progressing to melanoma.

Why Regular Skin Checks Matter

Regular skin examinations can help detect skin changes earlier, when treatment options may be less invasive. Your doctor will recommend the frequency of checks depending on your individual risk factors, including:

Personal or family history of skin cancer
Skin type and sun exposure history
Number of moles or atypical lesions
