Skin Clinic
Queensland has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, because of our strong sunshine and outdoor lifestyles.  At Grange Road we have a passion for skin cancer prevention, detection and treatment. Â
We perform comprehensive skin checks to detect pre-cancerous spots and all types of skin cancer.  Our doctors use hand-held skin microscopes to aid diagnosis, and digital mole scanning is available.
Note – for best results at  your skin check please don’t wear make-up.
We provide non-surgical treatments including cryotherapy (freezing), 5FU cream (efudix), Imiquimod cream (Aldara), and Daylight Photo-Dynamic therapy (PDT).
In our accredited operating theatres we perform biopsies, mole removal, and skin cancer surgery.
Our skin cancer doctors have undertaken post-graduate study in skin cancer medicine through the Skin Cancer College of Australasia, the peak body for skin cancer practitioners in Australia and New Zealand.
Dr Scott Kirton has a Diploma of Practical Dermatology from the University of Wales, and an Advanced Certificate of Skin Cancer Medicine from the Skin Cancer College of Australasia. Â He undertakes continuing medical education to keep abreast of new developments in skin cancer care.
The newest treatment he offers is Daylight PDT. Â This is a great option for people with numerous sunspots on their face or scalp. Â It allows patients to treat large areas of sun damage with a much faster recovery than the traditional efudix cream treatment.
