What to Expect At Your Appointment
An exposed areas skin check is specifically designed to identify suspicious lesions found on areas of your skin that are commonly exposed to the sun. This includes the head, neck, arms, hands, legs and décolletage (upper chest).
You will not be required to take any clothes off during your appointment, however it is a good idea to wear shorts and a t-shirt to your appointment, so the practitioner can see more of your exposed skin.
During your 10 minute appointment, the practitioner will also inform you how to look for signs of skin cancer and prevent it in the future.
Please note that an exposed areas skin check does not replace the need for a full body skin check, which are recommended annually.

Spotscreen Practitioners provide a primary skin cancer assessment only and do not medically diagnose or treat skin cancer. During your assessment, the Practitioner will use Dermoscopy and established guidelines to examine your skin to attempt to identify any irregular or suspicious lesions which are evident only on the day of your assessment.
If an irregular or suspicious lesion is identified, it will be documented in this booklet for your reference. You should see a General Practitioner or suitable Medical Practitioner for diagnosis of the lesion within the time frame advised by the Practitioner. Recommendations provided are for a General Practitioner and not to a Specialist Doctor.
At the time of assessment, the onus on you to advise the Practitioner conducting the assessment of any skin changes you are experiencing or have experienced. You must also advise of any personal underlying medical conditions or current medications.
Your participation in this assessment is voluntary and Spotscreen reserve the right to suspend or conclude the assessment, for whatever reason, at any time the Practitioner deems necessary. As skin cancer can form quickly, Australian skin cancer guidelines recommend that you check your own skin once a month for any changes and seek medical advice within one week of noticing a suspicious new or changing lesion.
