Skin cancer clinic NSW – Expert skin checks at MoleMap Australia

One of the most important signs of skin cancer is asymmetry—when one half of a mole doesn’t match the other. Other warning signs include changes in size, shape or colour, irregular borders, or itching and bleeding. Because skin cancers can develop in both sun-exposed and non-exposed areas of the body, it’s crucial to monitor your entire skin surface.

Regular checks at a trusted skin cancer clinic in NSW can help detect changes early, when treatment is most effective. Visit our 'Services' page to learn more about our full body skin checks.

The ABCDEs of melanoma are a simple guide to help identify warning symptoms of melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. They stand for:

• A – Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn't match the other.
• B – Border: The edges are irregular, uneven, scalloped, blurred, or notched.
• C – Colour: The mole has multiple colours or uneven colouring.
• D – Diameter: It's larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser).
• E – Evolving: The mole is changing in size, shape, or colour over time.

If you notice any of these signs, it's important to book an appointment at a qualified skin cancer clinic in NSW, like MoleMap, as early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes.

Non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, often appear as new or changing spots on the skin.

Common signs include:

• A sore that doesn't heal
• A scaly or crusty patch that may bleed
• A shiny, pearly bump or pink growth
• A red, firm lump that may grow quickly
• A flat area that looks like a scar, often white or yellowish

If you're looking for mole mapping in NSW, our Full Body MoleMap combines a thorough skin assessment with advanced imaging to monitor and compare changes to moles and skin lesions over time, improving early diagnosis. Discover how mole mapping works.

Start by examining your entire body in a well-lit room using a full-length mirror and a hand mirror. Check areas like your scalp, underarms, soles of your feet, and even between your fingers and toes—skin cancer can occur in places not regularly exposed to the sun. Look for new spots, unusual lesions, or any moles that have changed. (Our skin check guide offers tips on performing a self-check.)

If you notice anything unusual, book a professional assessment at a skin cancer clinic in New South Wales. Clinics are located in Balgowlah, Bondi Junction, St Leonards, Dapto, Griffith, Hunters Hill, Newcastle, Sydney CBD, Thirroul, Waterloo, and Woolooware.

Treatment for skin cancer depends on the type, size, depth, and location of the lesion. After a biopsy confirms the diagnosis, your doctor will discuss a personalised treatment plan with you.

Skin cancer treatments may include:

• Surgical removal – often used for deeper or larger skin cancers
• Topical treatments – suitable for small, superficial skin cancers
• Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) – a non-surgical option using light and medication to destroy cancer cells
• Cryotherapy or curettage – used for certain types of superficial lesions

Preventing skin cancer and looking after skin health starts with protecting your body from harmful UV exposure. This is especially important in Australia, where rates of skin cancer are among the highest in the world. Key prevention tips include:

• Wearing broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen daily
• Covering up with protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
• Seeking shade, especially during peak UV hours
• Avoiding tanning beds
• Checking your skin regularly for new or changing spots

Early detection is also a vital part of prevention. Regular skin cancer screening at a trusted clinic can help catch potential issues before they become serious. MoleMap Australia specialises in detecting and managing skin conditions early, helping you stay proactive about your skin health.
