Perth is well known for its sunny climate and most of us love its outdoor lifestyle. However this leads us to have some of the highest rates of skin cancers in the world, with two out of three Australians being diagnosed at sometime in their lives. Dr Dhruva Ramachandran has a special interest in Dermatology and runs a skin check clinic every Tuesday morning. If you have any suspicious moles or are concerned about a suspicious bump or area on your skin it is important to get it looked at and have a detailed skin examination. If the doctor finds a mole or spot which is suspicious for cancer, a biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis At Illawarra Medical, we offer fully equipped procedure rooms allowing us to perform a biopsy in a controlled environment. Most biopsies generally hurts less than a routine vaccination needle. The biopsy allows us to confirm the presence of skin cancer and to identify the sub-types of different skin cancers, their depths and any likely extent of spread. We are then able to recommend the most appropriate treatment.
