Does anyone have a recommendation for a good skin clinic to go and have sun spots checked? Is there a specialist skin cancer clinic? Thanks.

Thanks for that - I did try and use the search function but it didn't do anything - so thought better to just post. Do you know if any of them have australian trained specialists? My husband's got a spot he needs checking (he went to the skin clinic in australia only recently and was okay). But one of the dad's at our school in QLD collapsed at the school swimming carnival last November and was dead before Christmas (he was 42) so better to be safe than sorry I guess.

..well I went to CosmeSurge (see the thread reference I gave you)...as they have dermatologists and top quality plastic surgeons. They also do the examination, diagnoses and send off the excised tissue for examination. Plus additional benefit is that they use many fine stitches...so you get a good repair job and very little scarring.

Total cost for a small facial skin cancer removal plus testing was AED 2,000.

Search the internet for clinics in Dubai.. they usually have a good spiel on their services.

Thanks - I've given him the name of CosmeSurge - now he just has to drag himself away from the computer and get a checkup. Hopefully all will be well, he's had a couple of suspicious one's removed in the past but the pathology has always come back benign - hopefully this one will be the same.
