Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer and can develop quickly, spreading to other parts of the body if not detected early. It often arises in existing moles but can also appear as a new spot on normal skin. Melanomas can look like flat or raised pigmented lesions with irregular borders, asymmetry, or colour variations. Because of its aggressive nature, early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment are critical. Regular skin checks play a vital role in catching melanomas in their early, more treatable stages.
Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common and least aggressive type of skin cancer. It typically appears as a pearly bump, red patch, or sore that doesn’t heal. BCCs rarely spread to other parts of the body but can become locally invasive if left untreated, causing damage to surrounding tissue. They often occur on sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, and neck. Treatment usually involves surgical removal, with a strong focus on preserving cosmetic appearance, particularly when the lesion is located on visible areas.
Squamous Cell Carcinomas are the second most common form of skin cancer and can grow more rapidly than BCCs. They usually present as scaly red patches, open sores, or firm nodules that may crust or bleed. SCCs commonly develop in areas with high sun exposure and are more likely to spread if not treated early. Individuals with a history of prolonged sun exposure, fair skin, or weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Early detection and removal are key to preventing further complications.
Also known as sun spots, Actinic Keratoses are rough, scaly patches on the skin caused by long-term sun exposure. While not cancerous themselves, they are considered pre-cancerous and may develop into squamous cell carcinoma over time. These lesions often appear on the face, ears, scalp, forearms, and backs of the hands. Treatment may involve cryotherapy, topical creams, or other methods to prevent progression. Regular monitoring is essential for patients with a history of sun-damaged skin.
Not all spots are cancerous—but knowing what’s normal for your skin can help identify changes early. Freckles, moles, age spots, and other pigmented lesions can often be benign, but if you notice any spot that changes in size, shape, colour, or sensation, it’s time to get it checked. At Skin Cancer Gregory Hills, we assess all skin lesions with the help of advanced AI dermoscopy to distinguish between harmless blemishes and potentially dangerous ones, ensuring you get peace of mind—or prompt action when needed.

Australia has one of the highest skin cancer rates globally. Around two in three Australians will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer by the age of 70. This is largely due to high UV exposure, outdoor living habits, and a predominately fair-skinned population.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. If not detected early, it can quickly spread to other parts of the body. The positive news is that melanoma is highly treatable when found early, especially through timely skin cancer surgery with much higher survival rates when action is taken promptly.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) are the most common types of skin cancer. BCC often appears as a pearly lump or patch, while SCC may show as a scaly red spot or sore that doesn’t heal. These typically appear on areas most exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, scalp, shoulders, and hands.
Actinic Keratoses (AKs), or sun spots, are considered precancerous. While not cancerous themselves, they can develop into SCC if left untreated and should be reviewed by a professional.
It’s also important to watch for moles, spots, or patches of skin that change in size, colour, shape, or feel, these may be early signs of skin cancer.
The good news? Most skin cancers can be successfully treated when caught early. That’s why regular skin checks at a trusted skin cancer clinic in Narellan could make a life-saving difference.
