Dr Prajwal Tuladhar can provide a full skin examination to assess any spots or lesions on the skin. Using imaging technology, suspicious lesions can be photographed and recorded for accurate monitoring and follow-up.
Majority of skin cancers can be treated at The Medical Clinic by surgery, or anti-cancer cream. However, in larger and complex cases, referral to dermatologists, or plastic surgeons may be required.
Dr Prajwal Tuladhar can check the skin from head to toe, looking for any suspicious lesions. Normally you will be asked to undress down to underwear for a skin check. During the skin check Dr Prajwal will use a hand -held magnification device called dermatoscope to assess individual lesions. If a biopsy or surgical excision is required, follow-up visit will be needed.
