Dermatologists are regarded as the experts in the detection and treatment of all skin disorders including pre-cancerous skin lesions and skin cancers. As many early skin cancers are subtle and/or asymptomatic they may be missed by the untrained eye. At Inner Sydney Dermatology, our aim is ensure the early detection of pre-cancers and skin cancers, and offer patients the most suitable treatment options. We are also happy to instruct you on how to perform your own regular 'self skin examination' at home. The general recommendation from the Australasian College of Dermatologists is that patients should check their skin themselves every three months (the beginning of each season is an easy way to remember). If you are concerned about any skin lesions, make sure you arrange a consultation with your GP or Dermatologist. For those at high risk, or with a past history of skin cancer, we recommend a routine yearly skin check with your doctor.
