Your SA skin check questions, answered

How much does a skin check cost in Australia?

The cost of a skin check in Australia varies depending on the clinic and the type of appointment. Visit our 'Services' page for the most up-to-date prices for a skin assessment at MoleMap skin cancer clinics in South Australia.

Where are MoleMap's SA skin cancer clinics located?

You can visit a SA skin check and skin cancer clinic in Adelaide, Mount Gambier, and Firle. MoleMap offers easy online booking, so you can choose a time that suits you best.

How often should I have a skin check?

An annual professional skin check is recommended. People at high risk of skin cancer may need more frequent checks. We also recommend checking your skin at home every three months. Not sure what to look for? Find out how to perform an at-home skin check.

What are the risk factors for skin cancer?

Key risk factors for skin cancer include:

  • UV exposure from the sun or tanning beds
  • Fair skin, light eyes, or red/blonde hair
  • Family or personal history of skin cancer
  • Many or unusual moles
  • Age, especially over 50
  • Weakened immune system
  • Past sunburns, especially in childhood

Protecting your skin health with sun safety and early detection through regular skin checks can help reduce your risk of getting skin cancer.

What are the signs of non melanoma skin cancers?

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

Signs of early-stage skin cancer can appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, ears, neck, and hands, but may also develop in less obvious places.

Find out more about basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (including risk factors, prevention, and treatment).

What are the warning signs of melanoma?

The main warning symptoms of melanoma can be remembered using the ABCDEFGs:

  • A – Asymmetry: One half of the mole doesn't match the other
  • B – Border: Edges are irregular, blurred, or jagged
  • C – Colour: Uneven colour with shades of brown, black, red, or even white or blue
  • D – Diameter: Larger than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)
  • E – Evolving: Changing in size, shape, colour, or behaviour (like itching or bleeding)
  • F – Firm: Feels firm, scaly or rough
  • G – Growing: A mole or lesion that grows rapidly with changes noted over days or weeks

Other signs include a new or unusual spot on the skin, or a mole that looks different from others. Early detection is critical—if you notice any of these signs, book a professional skin check as soon as possible.

What is the best doctor to check for skin cancer?

The best person to check for skin cancer is a dermatologist or healthcare professional with expertise in the early detection of skin cancer. MoleMap skin cancer clinics in South Australia offer access to melanographers—who focus exclusively on skin cancer detection and monitoring, including mole mapping. It's what they do all day, every day, so you know you'll get the highest standard full skin check.

How can I reduce my risk of skin cancer ?

You can manage your skin cancer risk and protect your skin health by:

  • Using broad-spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen daily
  • Wearing sun-protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
  • Seeking shade, especially when the UV Index is at its highest (10am-3pm)
  • Avoiding tanning beds
  • Checking your skin regularly for new or changing spots
  • Booking routine skin checks with a trained professional

Remember, regular monitoring helps with early detection—increasing the chances of successful treatment.

What treatments are available for skin cancer?

Skin cancer treatment depends on the type, location, and stage of the cancer. Common options include:

  • Skin cancer surgery – the most common treatment, often involving surgical removal of the cancerous lesion
  • Cryotherapy – freezing the cancer cells
  • Topical treatments – creams for certain types of skin cancer
  • Radiation therapy or immunotherapy – used in some advanced cases

Several MoleMap skin cancer clinics in South Australia offer treatment. If you’re diagnosed with skin cancer, your doctor will discuss the best treatment plan based on whether the cancer has spread and your overall health. The good news is that most patients diagnosed early can be successfully treated.
