Overcast skies with a high chance of sluggishness and a low tolerance for getting out of bed.
Symptoms we're seeing around the clinic:
General "blah"feeling
Sudden onset of pajama loyalty
Don't worry, It's not contagious-but it is persistent.

🔍 When Was Your Last Skin Cancer Check?🔍

Skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide — but when caught early, it's also one of the most treatable.

Our expert skin doctors & nurses are trained to spot the early signs of skin cancer that you might miss. A quick, painless skin check could save your life.

What to watch for:
⚠️ New or changing moles
⚠️ Spots that itch, bleed, or don’t heal
⚠️ Unusual growths or patches

✅ Annual skin checks are recommended — especially if you spend time in the sun, have fair skin, or a history of sunburns or skin cancer.

Your skin tells a story. Let’s make sure it’s a healthy one.

Which Skin Check is Right for You?

At Somerville Street Clinic, we offer the following skin check options:

1. Spot Check (1–3 spots)
Ideal if you have just a few specific spots you're concerned about.

2. Full Body Skin Check
A comprehensive check of your entire skin to detect early signs of skin cancer. Recommended annually for most adults.

3. Mole Mapping
A detailed photographic record of your moles to monitor changes over time. Best for people with many moles or a history of skin cancer.

Our trained Skin Cancer Nurses are conducting Spot Checks, Full Body Skin Checks, and Mole Mapping.
Please note: These services are not eligible for a Medicare rebate.

Still prefer a Medicare-rebated appointment?
Dr Percy and Dr Shane continue to offer Spot Checks and Full Body Skin Checks with Medicare rebates available.

Your Prostate’s Not Going to Check Itself

Men will climb ladders in flip-flops…
Eat food off the floor after “the 5-second rule”…
And still say, “I’m fine” instead of going to the doctor.

But here’s the truth:

- 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer.
- Early detection = high survival.
-The exam? Not as bad as your group chat makes it sound.

So this September, let’s do something brave:

🌞 Sun’s Out, Skin Check Time! 🩺

It’s easy to forget about skin health, but with all this sunshine, it’s the perfect time to get checked. No one wants to end up looking like a raisin before their time! 🍇

Moral of the story: wear sunscreen, get your skin checked, and remember that every freckle has a story – but none of them should be a health scare. 😜
