Skin Checks
A skin check is an examination of your skin which can be performed by your GP.
These can include specific skin spots or a full body examination. Your GP will use their eyes as well as a magnifying glass to assess the characteristics of the lesion and give advice on treatments when required.
At times, the GP will recommend a removal of lesion and/or biopsy to further examine the area of concern. BGP has a team of nurses to assist the GPs in all minor theatre procedures.
Please note all GPs offer skin spot checks however not all GPs will conduct full body skin checks. If a full body check is required, your GP will refer internally to another GP who specialises in skin checks.
For all skin checks, please consult your family doctor for guidance and referrals.
