South Steyne Medical Centre Manly Skin Cancer Clinic is a dedicated service for the early detection and treatment of skin cancers.
Regular skin examinations and monitoring of existing skin lesions will improve the chances of early diagnosis and successful treatment of skin cancers.
Our Manly Skin Cancer Clinic Doctors have advanced training in skin cancer medicine, and with no referral necessary you can be regularly checked for potentially dangerous skin cancers and melanoma.
All patients will be thoroughly examined by one of our Manly Skin Cancer Clinic doctors. If treatment is necessary, they will let you know what your treatment options are.
Services include:
- Skin checks
- Detection of skin cancers and melanomas
- Diagnosis
- Treatment of all skin cancers and melanomas
- Post-operative care
- Non-invasive topical treatments
A standard Manly Skin Cancer Clinic appointment involves a full skin check.

Remember, a full skin check requires you to get undressed to underwear. Please don’t wear makeup, sunscreen or moisturiser to your appointment.
The Manly Skin Cancer Clinic’s doctors are not dermatologists, but have advanced training in the treatment of skin cancers and melanomas and have more than 20 years combined experience in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer and melanoma.
If you need treatments for a skin cancer then the treatment options will depend on the type of skin cancer you have and its severity.
Potential treatments will be discussed with you by your Manly Skin Cancer Clinic doctor. Treatments can include surgery and non-surgical treatment.
