I have been doing dermoscopic mole checks since 2005. I hold a Diploma in Dermoscopy. I have picked up several early melanomas, hence offering 100% cure rate (time is the essence here). If you suspect you have a mole that is suspicious, please do not wait, pick up the phone and ring 09 585 0188 to book in to see me, or send me an email, or use the book now page.
I don’t need a referral from your GP but can send them a note if you wish to. For most patients I first check the moles that they are concerned about, either be it a new mole or a changing mole. This is followed by a full head to toe consultation of all the moles with the dermoscope.
Only the moles of concern can be checked if you wish. I am an affiliated provider for southern cross insured patients for skin cancer work.
You can request a chaperone or bring in a support person. Your modesty is maintained all the time with appropriate covering. Skin of the breast, genitals or buttock areas are not routinely checked. You should alert me if there are any moles under these areas to be checked.
It would help me if you do not wear facial make up. Nail polishes needs to be removed before the check.
Treatment in the form of cryotherapy or liquid Ice is usually performed at the time of the consultation. If you require a biopsy or surgical excision, it will be scheduled for a different day.
