Skin cancer diagnosis is now relatively straight forward. Thank you very much to the Skin cancer college of Australia, University of QLD, Sydney university and Drs like Dr Peter Bourne,\u00a0 Dr Scott Menzie<\/a>, Dr\u00a0Cliff Rosendahl and\u00a0Dr\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Alan Cameron, <\/span>Dr\u00a0 <\/a><\/span>Harald Kittler ( He’s Austrian )\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Dr Ian Mc Coll<\/span>,…et al.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More cancer are missed by not looking.<\/p>\n

We know quite a number of people\u00a0who have died because of melanoma. Most of them would still be alive if their melanoma was not missed<\/span>. So if you see an ugly duckling mole on your skin \u00a0– see you doctor immediately.<\/p>\n

Skin cancer examination is so quick and simple. We use big<\/strong> broad bright light and magnification and selected microscopy to examine your skin.<\/span> \u00a0Skin cancer examination takes less than 3 minutes ! May be, 10 minutes if\u00a0the doctor is\u00a0still in training and, a lot lot more if the doctor\u00a0biopsy every anxious lesions. (extra time is needed\u00a0for undressing &\u00a0re-dressing )<\/p>\n

At\u00a0our Crown kin cancer clinic, we use our clinical experience together with<\/strong><\/span> dermoscopy to do skin checks.<\/p>\n

Dermoscopy<\/a> is a simple method that enables detailed examination of the structure of\u00a0 skin lesions or moles. It improves the diagnosis of\u00a0 the vast majority of all skin cancer types without resorting to excessive biopsies\u2013 saving you time, unnecessary stress and costs.<\/p>\n

Thanks to \u00a0Aussies skin cancer doctors, the like of\u00a0Dr Scott Menzie<\/a>, Dr\u00a0Cliff Rosendahl and\u00a0Dr\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Alan Cameron, dermatologist-<\/span>Dr\u00a0 <\/a><\/span>Harald Kittler ( He’s Austrian )<\/a>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Dr Ian Mc Coll<\/span>,…et al. less Australians are dying from melanomas.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Micro-photo’s of moles can be taken through these devices for later review if indicated.<\/p>\n

There are many eye catching and elaborate skin check or mole check machines available commercially. They are good for the inexperienced . They are not 100% accurate . The ideal person to operate mole photo machine are ones who have good working knowledge of dermoscopy. Ultimately, clinicians serve as the final arbiters of the diagnosis for examined lesions.<\/p>\n

Photographic documentation may be of value if you are at\u00a0 high risk for developing melanoma<\/a><\/span>, i.e. if you have multiple moles and numerous dysplastic neavii ( atypical moles ) where biopsies of them all would be impractical and hence photographic follow up would be better.<\/p>\n

skin cancer – basal cell carcinoma – naked eye and dermoscopic views<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Basal cell carcinoma. This is a glaring example of a bcc. The clinico-dermoscopic picture is so obvious that biopsy is unnecessary. On the left is the naked eye image of a bcc and it\u2019s microscopic picture on the right.<\/p>\n

\"melanoma\"
melanoma – naked eye and dermoscopic views<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Melanoma. Both of these lesions look suspicious. The novice would biopsy both. The expert dermoscopist would biopsy the left lesion based on the clinical history and the dermoscopic image. The right lesion is a benign clotted heamangioma- \u201cblood blister\u201d. The lesion on the left is a early stage melanoma.<\/p>\n

\"Venous
Venous leg ulcer. Skin cancer look a like.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This patient was told that this lesion was a squamous cell carcinoma, A novice would incline to believe it. On history taking, general skin check and dermoscopic examination, a diagnosis of varicose eczema was made. We treated his\u00a0varicose veins\u00a0\u00a0by ultrasound guided sclerotherapy\u00a0and the rash and ulcer resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
