Skin cancer is common in Australia, and regular skin checks are one of the safest ways to detect problems early.

Complete Skin Cancer Care

At Crest Medical Centre in Hervey Bay, our doctors offer a full range of skin cancer services from early detection through to treatment and follow-up care. The aim is to find concerning spots early, confirm a diagnosis where needed and plan appropriate management in a general practice setting or with specialist support when required.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

During your skin cancer check, your doctor will examine your skin from head to toe, looking for new, changing or unusual moles and lesions. A dermatoscope may be used to take a closer look at particular spots.

If an area needs further investigation, your doctor can discuss options such as a biopsy or removal at the clinic, or arrange referral when another setting is more appropriate.
