With the arrival of warmer months, We are ready to enjoy the sun-drenched beaches, barbecues, and outdoor adventures. But as we head into summer, it’s important to remember that skin health should be at the top of everyone’s mind. At QHealth – Lilydale Doctors, our skin clinic offers comprehensive skin checks that can make a life-saving difference.
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer globally, with two in three Australians diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70. Although our sun-kissed lifestyle is wonderful, it also exposes us to a higher risk of UV damage. Early detection of skin cancer dramatically increases the chances of successful treatment, making regular skin checks a critical aspect of your health routine.
“Skin cancer doesn’t discriminate by age or gender—it can happen to anyone,” Lilydale Doctors GP and cosmetic physician skin specialist Dr Binay Kumar said.
“That’s why routine checks are so valuable, particularly as we enter the months when UV exposure is at its highest.”
A skin check is quick and non-invasive, and if a suspicious spot is found, our experienced team can guide you through the next steps, including biopsy, treatment, or ongoing monitoring.
“Self-monitoring is a great way to stay on top of any changes, but an annual check by a trained professional can catch what might otherwise go unnoticed,” Dr Tina Zhong said.
Who Should Get Checked? Everyone, regardless of skin type or age, can benefit from an annual skin check.
Enjoy the sun, but stay safe! Book your skin check today online or call 03 9088 8177and make skin health a priority this summer.
