A professional skin check can help identify suspicious changes early. At Penrith Skin Cancer Clinic, experienced skin cancer doctors provide a careful assessment to identify suspicious moles, spots, and other skin lesions.

Anyone concerned about a mole, lesion or other noticeable skin change can arrange an assessment.

Yes. If you are worried about a mole or have noticed a change that concerns you, you can request a skin check appointment. The clinic’s appointment form specifically includes options for a skin check and for patients concerned about a skin lesion.
If an area appears concerning, your doctor can explain what has been identified and discuss the appropriate course of action. Depending on the findings, further investigation or treatment may be recommended. We provide skin cancer diagnosis and surgical services when required.
The clinic uses modern technology to support short-, medium- and long-term monitoring and treatment of skin cancer. Your doctor can determine whether monitoring is suitable for you and explain what follow-up may be recommended based on your skin assessment and clinical findings.
You can request an appointment online through the clinic or contact the reception team directly.
