Frequently Asked Questions
Skin cancer GP services play a vital role in detecting skin cancer early and protecting your longterm health. Below are answers to common questions about skin cancer checks and excisions to help you understand what to expect and feel confident booking your appointment.
How Often Should You Book a Skin Check?
Early detection improves treatment outcomes. Most people should book a skin check every 12 months, while those at higher risk may need more frequent visits.
During your appointment, your GP will examine your skin, assess any suspicious spots, and recommend monitoring, a biopsy, or treatment if required. The consultation is simple and thorough, providing peace of mind.
Skin Cancer Removal: What Happens if a Spot Needs Treatment?
Watch for new moles, changes in colour, size, or shape, sores that do not heal, or spots that bleed or itch. If a suspicious lesion is identified, treatment is usually performed under local anaesthetic.
The procedure may require stitches, depending on the lesion's size and location. A small scar is normal, but following your GP's aftercare instructions can help minimise scarring and support healing.
Recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, and Medicare rebates may apply to eligible consultations and procedures.
