Skin Cancer Screening
Australia has some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and the Hunter region’s outdoor lifestyle means sun exposure adds up quickly. Whether you’ve spotted something that’s changed, you’re overdue for a check, or you just want peace of mind, our GPs at Smith St Medical Centre Charlestown are here to help.
Some patients come in after noticing a mole that looks different, a new spot, or something that’s been itching or bleeding. Others book routine full-body skin checks because of a family history of melanoma, years of outdoor work, or time spent playing sports in the sun. Either way, every appointment includes a careful head-to-toe assessment, clear explanations of what we find, and a straightforward next step if anything needs attention. If a biopsy, excision, or dermatology referral is needed, we’ll organize it promptly.
Why Early Detection Matters
Most skin cancers, including melanoma, are highly treatable when caught early. Many develop slowly and without any pain, which is exactly why routine checks matter, especially for patients living around Charlestown and Lake Macquarie where outdoor activity is part of everyday life.
