Meet Our Skin Check GP

Dr Daryna Rudolph leads skin health services at Next Practice Newstead, bringing expertise and a thorough, patient-centred approach to the detection and management of skin cancer and other dermatological concerns. Dr Rudolph is experienced in conducting comprehensive skin checks and performing minor skin surgical procedures, ensuring patients receive high-quality skin care conveniently within our Newstead clinic.

Skin Health Services Available at Our Newstead Clinic

Dr Rudolph provides a comprehensive range of skin health services, including:

Full body skin checks, a thorough head-to-toe examination of your skin to identify any lesions, moles, or changes that may require monitoring, further investigation, or treatment.

Skin cancer detection and assessment, clinical assessment of suspicious lesions including moles, spots, and growths, with dermoscopy used where appropriate to support accurate diagnosis.

Skin biopsies, where a lesion requires further investigation, Dr Rudolph can perform a skin biopsy in clinic to obtain a tissue sample for pathological analysis, helping to confirm or rule out a skin cancer diagnosis.

Minor skin surgical procedures, removal of skin lesions, moles, cysts, and other dermatological concerns requiring minor surgical intervention, performed under local anaesthetic in our purpose-built treatment room.

Referrals to dermatologists and specialist surgeons, where a lesion or diagnosis requires specialist management beyond general practice, Dr Rudolph provides timely referrals to trusted dermatologists and skin cancer specialists.

Why Regular Skin Checks Are Essential in Queensland

Queensland has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, with years of sun exposure accumulating silently over time. Skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, is highly treatable when detected early. Regular skin checks with an experienced GP give you the best possible chance of catching any concerns at the earliest, most manageable stage.

We recommend that all Queensland residents, particularly those with fair skin, a history of significant sun exposure, or a personal or family history of skin cancer, attend regular skin checks as part of their preventative health routine.

When to Book a Skin Check

We encourage you to book a skin check appointment if you:

• Have not had a skin check in the past twelve months
• Have noticed a new or changing mole, spot, or lesion on your skin
• Have a personal or family history of skin cancer or melanoma
• Have a history of significant sun exposure or sunburn
• Have fair skin, light eyes, or red or blonde hair, which are associated with higher skin cancer risk
• Are concerned about any aspect of your skin health

If you notice a lesion that is changing rapidly, bleeding, or causing concern, please contact our clinic promptly to arrange an appointment.
