Skin Cancer Capital of the World.

North Queenslanders are living in the skin cancer capital of the world.  So here at the Townsville GP Superclinic we remind our patients when out and about in our wonderful outdoors please remember to:

1. Slip on a shirt
2. Slop on sunscreen
3. Slap on a hat
4. Seek shade
5. Slide on your sun glasses
6. Download and start using the Sun Smart App from the Cancer Council Australia
7. If something looks funny, get it checked. Skin cancer is more common than others might think
8. If you are at risk (there is a long list of reasons why that might be true) get yourself regularly checked.

Early detection beats dealing with an even bigger problem later on down the line.

We offer a full skin cancer awareness, prevention and treatment program including;

• Assessment of individual skin lesions which you may be worried about
• Full skin checks
• Use of a dermatoscope to inspect individual skin lesions
• Preventative and Therapeutic Cryotherapy 
• Punch Biopsies
• Skin Excisions
• Flap Surgery
