Skin Checks and Skin Clinic in Coomera
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, so looking after your skin matters. At Coomera Town Medical Centre, our GP-led skin clinic provides skin checks, mole assessments and treatment of common skin concerns for patients of all ages, conveniently located inside Westfield Coomera.
Whether you have noticed a new or changing spot, want a routine skin check, or need help managing an ongoing skin condition, our doctors are here to help. We are open 7 days a week, with appointments available online.
GP-Led Skin Care for the Whole Family
Our doctors provide attentive, practical skin care in a comfortable and private setting. We take time to examine your skin carefully, explain what we find, and discuss your options clearly. Where a concern needs specialist input, we can arrange a referral to a dermatologist or specialist for further assessment.
What Is a Skin Check?
A skin check is an examination of your skin to look for unusual spots, moles or changes that may need further attention. During a full body skin check, your doctor examines your skin from head to toe, including areas that are easy to miss. Regular skin checks support early detection, which is an important part of looking after your skin health over time.
Our Skin Clinic Services
Full Body Skin Checks
A thorough head-to-toe examination of your skin to identify any spots or moles that may need monitoring or further assessment.
Mole and Spot Assessments
Assessment of new, changing or unusual moles and spots, including the use of dermoscopy to examine them more closely.
Skin Cancer Checks and Referrals
Examination of areas of concern for signs of skin cancer. Where appropriate, we arrange biopsies or referrals to specialists for diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnosis and management of everyday skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
Minor Skin Procedures
Where clinically appropriate, our doctors may perform minor skin procedures on site or refer you to a suitable provider. Your doctor will discuss what is involved before any procedure.
Who Should Have a Skin Check?
A skin check may be worth booking if you:
- Have noticed a new spot, or a mole that has changed in size, shape or colour
- Have a personal or family history of skin cancer
- Have fair skin, many moles, or a history of sunburn
- Spend, or have spent, significant time in the sun
- Have not had a skin check recently and would like peace of mind
Your doctor can advise how often you should have a skin check based on your individual risk factors.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you come in for a skin check, your doctor will ask about your skin history and any concerns you have. You will be asked to undress to your underwear so your skin can be examined properly, and your privacy is respected at all times. The doctor may use a dermoscope, a special magnifying tool, to look at any spots more closely.
If anything needs further attention, your doctor will explain the next steps, which may include monitoring, a biopsy, treatment or referral. There is no need to prepare anything in advance, although it helps to avoid wearing makeup or nail polish on the day.
Looking After Your Skin Between Visits
Simple habits support your skin health between appointments, including using sun protection, checking your own skin regularly, and seeing your doctor promptly if you notice a new or changing spot. Becoming familiar with your own skin makes it easier to notice changes early.
