Detecting skin cancers early is crucial for effective treatment and patient outcomes. A full-body skin check is a comprehensive assessment that plays a vital role in uncovering potential skin issues that may have gone unnoticed. We highly recommend this thorough examination for all our patients. During the 15-20 minute skin check, our experienced doctors will inspect your skin from head to toe, using specialised equipment (dermatoscope) to identify any abnormal skin spots with unusual shapes or colors. To ensure a proper examination, we kindly ask you to undress to your underwear. To facilitate accurate assessments, we ask that you avoid wearing nail polish, makeup, or fake tan when you come in for your skin examination. These products can conceal spots and make them harder to detect, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment.
