Skin Checks
At Willoughby 7 Days Medical Centre our specialised team of practitioners are trained to diagnose, analyse and remove skin lesions. We emphasise the importance of early detection through regular self-examination and routine checks with your GP.
Regular skin checks are encouraged for all Australians, even more so for those with risk factors.
