What happens during a GP skin check

A skin check is a consultation where a GP examines your skin for signs of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The GP will usually:

• Ask about your sun exposure history, skin type, family history and any spots you have noticed changing
• Examine your skin, including areas not normally exposed to the sun
• Use a dermatoscope — a magnified, illuminated lens — to look closely at any spots of concern
• Explain what was found and recommend next steps, which may include monitoring, photography, a biopsy or a referral

Between checks, watch your own skin for new spots or changes in size, shape or colour of existing spots, and see a GP promptly if you notice anything. For more on what to look for, see healthdirect and the Cancer Council.
