DERMATOLOGY
What is involved in a skin check appointment?
When booking your initial appointment online, you'll answer a few questions about your family history, previous mole checks, and sunburn. During your appointment, Maigan will discuss any concerns you have, and the clinician will assess your risk of skin damage.
​
For a Full Body Check, you'll be given a warm towel for comfort, while Maigan performs the check. Afterward, Maigan will discuss any unusual findings seen with the dermatoscope and possible next steps.
What if Maigan finds something suspicious?
MK Skin & Wound is proud to collaborate with accredited skin cancer doctor Dr. James in Shepparton. This partnership allows Maigan to offer biopsies for moles and sunspots that may be concerning. If a biopsy is needed, Maigan will determine eligibility, and you'll return 1-2 weeks for your results and wound review. Depending on the findings, you may be referred to Dr. James for further care.​​​​​​​​

What happens if I want a mole removal for aesthetic reasons?
For aesthetic mole removal, a punch biopsy is used, and any lesions removed will be sent for analysis to ensure it is not suspicious or of concern.
Signs of suspicious moles
Borders
Melanoma borders tend to be uneven and may even have scalloped or notched edges.
Colour
Asymmetry
Most melanomas are asymmetrical.
A single mole with multiple colours is a warning sign.
Diameter
It's a warning sign if a lesion is the size of a pencil eraser or larger.
