Your doctor examines your skin using dermoscopy and digital imaging. At Doctor Dermis, FotoFinder total body photography may also be used to document and compare moles or skin changes over time, which supports early detection and monitoring.
Common skin cancers that can be diagnosed and treated include:
Melanoma
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Treatment plans are tailored based on the type and stage of the skin cancer
Skin cancer is detected through a detailed skin examination using specialised tools such as dermoscopy and digital mole mapping. These technologies allow doctors to closely examine skin lesions and monitor any changes over time.
A skin biopsy may be recommended if a mole or lesion appears suspicious during examination. A small sample of the skin is removed and sent to a laboratory to determine whether cancer cells are present.
