Notice a new spot? Get answers with
confidence and care
Noticing a new dark patch or spot on your skin can raise questions – especially with so many possible causes, from harmless pigmentation to areas requiring medical attention. Common sun-related spots, such as solar lentigines and seborrheic keratoses are generally benign but can become more visible with time. Actinic keratosis, however, are considered precancerous and benefit from early assessment and treatment. A professional skin check is the most reliable way to understand what a skin spot is, whether any monitoring is needed, and what options are available.
At Queensland Skin and Laser in Brisbane, our medically-led team provides thorough skin assessments and evidence-based care. Where suitable, treatments such as laser, targeted therapies, or minor lesion removal may be recommended to support healthier-looking skin or address spots that shouldn’t be left untreated. If a spot shows features that may indicate skin cancer, we will guide you toward the appropriate diagnostic pathway. When in doubt, having your skin assessed offers clarity and peace of mind.
We offer comprehensive skin cancer checks and examine your skin thoroughly for any signs of skin abnormalities or potential melanomas. You can undergo a skin exam, diagnosis, and treatment all in one convenient location without needing a referral, whether you’re looking for a routine skin check or suspect a suspicious mole.
Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly patches that develop on sun-exposed skin over time. They are considered precancerous lesions, meaning they have the potential to progress if left untreated. Our medical team can perform a thorough skin check to diagnose actinic keratosis and recommend appropriate treatment to reduce risk and support healthy skin.
Birthmarks
(Haemangioma)
Birthmarks are common, harmless areas of pigmentation or vascular change visible from birth or early childhood. While many people choose to leave birthmarks untouched, others seek cosmetic improvement if a birthmark affects appearance or causes irritation. We can examine your birthmark and discuss safe, suitable treatment options when appropriate.
Moles & Dysplastic
Naevi
Moles are common pigmented spots on the skin. Dysplastic naevi are moles that look slightly different to typical moles and may require closer monitoring. Queensland Skin and Laser offers thorough skin checks, and if removal or further investigation is recommended, this will be guided by medical assessment and best-practice care.
Seborrheic keratoses are common, benign growths that may appear warty, raised, or waxy in texture. While harmless, they can catch on clothing, become irritated, or cause cosmetic concern. At Queensland Skin and Laser, we can evaluate these lesions and offer safe removal techniques when appropriate for comfort or appearance.
Skin Cancer Surgery & Treatment

Solar lentigines, also called age spots, liver spots, or sun spots, are small, darkened patches that form due to long-term UV exposure. They are non-cancerous but may resemble other pigmented lesions that need assessment. Our clinicians can examine these spots, discuss suitable treatment options for cosmetic improvement, and ensure any areas of concern are monitored or investigated further.
