Dunedin Mole Clinic is a skin check clinic at 609 Highgate in Maori Hill, Dunedin. It is a clinic for mole and skin cancer checks rather than general medicine. Its most popular booking is the head-to-toe skin check, which looks at up to two or three lesions of concern and photographs any that need monitoring. Total body photography is offered for people with more than 100 moles, directed spot checks are offered for lesions that are changing or causing concern, and a dermatologist skin cancer check is listed as new.
The clinic's doctors are Dr Rahul Prasad, a Fellow of the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners and an accredited skin cancer doctor who also handles diagnosis and surgical management of skin cancers, and Dr Daniela Vanousova, a specialist dermatologist with more than 20 years of clinical experience in Europe and New Zealand. Dr Prasad is an affiliated provider with Southern Cross. The website notes that New Zealand's skin cancer rates are among the highest in the world, because of high UV, outdoor lifestyles and a largely fair-skinned population. For someone in Dunedin who spends time outdoors and wants a specialist to check their skin, a head-to-toe check in Maori Hill is the main reason to visit.
