Sydney, New South Wales – October 31, 2019 – Dr Ono Alex-Ohunyon, one of the leading Bowral doctors employs a holistic approach to patient care, carefully listen to the patient’s concerns, and ensure that they are comfortable with all treatment plans. He has received specialised training in the assessment and management of skin cancer.
When asked about this, “Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. It occurs when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells triggers mutations, or genetic defects, that lead the skin cells to multiply and form malignant tumours if not removed quickly,” replied Dr Ono Alex-Ohunyon, the best doctor in Bowral.
He also continued, “We are all at risk of skin cancer, however living in the sunny climate that Australia is, it is especially important to get regular skin checks. So, consider regular check-ups if you spend a lot of time outdoors, if you have naturally fair skin, if you have a family history of skin cancer or if you are over 50 years of age.”
While general physician can assess skin conditions, only the doctors at a skin cancer clinic possess the extra qualifications and experience in this area to diagnose and treat skin cancer in Bowral.
Dr Ono Alex-Ohunyon added, “The doctors at our Skin Cancer Clinic have a special interest in skin cancer, meaning they have additional qualifications and experience in this area. These could be certificate and diploma level courses in dermatology and skin cancer as well as Masters level qualifications.”
“Our skin cancer screening is thorough and may take between 20-30 minutes depending on your risk factors and skin type. To facilitate a thorough examination, we ask for the removal of make-up and nail polish prior to the examination. The skin is examined with bright light and then dermoscopy is performed using a hand held dermatoscope.”
The skin cancer in Bowral is treated by freezing (cryotherapy), biopsy or surgical excision. Dr Ono Alex-Ohunyon also specialises in chronic disease management, children’s health, sexual health, travel medicine, skin health, men’s health, palliative care, immunisations, preventative medicine, women’s health, minor surgical procedures, and more.
“While I cater for all primary care needs, I have particular interests in aged care, chronic conditions, family health, skin cancer medicine, emergencies, hospital care, minor surgeries and men’s health,” concluded Dr Ono Alex-Ohunyon.
