Who’s the best person to perform a skin check in Clyde?
GPs, dermatologists, specially trained health professionals, and surgeons can provide mole checks. If your GP spots a suspicious lesion, it’s likely you will be referred to a skin specialist or skin cancer doctor for diagnosis. At MoleMap, we have invested in the latest research and empower our team with the newest technology. Our skin cancer clinics are run by melanographers—health professionals with additional training in the early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers. Using AI technology and our world-class database of images, atypical lesions are imaged and assessed for signs of skin cancer. Images of any atypical lesions are sent electronically to an accredited dermatologist for diagnosis. This ensures high-level accuracy and streamlines your journey to treatment—if needed.
What services does a skin cancer clinic offer?
Most skin cancer clinics perform comprehensive skin assessments, education on skin cancer prevention, biopsies, as well as skin cancer treatment. If skin cancer treatment is not provided, they can refer to an appropriate medical professional. Several MoleMap skin check clinics offer skin cancer treatment.
