Melbourne Squamous Cell Dermatologist
Understanding Skin Cancer and Its Impact
At Indigo Dermatology, we understand the anxiety and concern that come with a diagnosis of skin cancer. Our mission is to provide comprehensive care, particularly for conditions like squamous cell carcinoma, a common form of skin cancer that can be effectively managed if caught early. Skin cancer affects countless individuals worldwide, and in Australia, the rate is notably high due to the sunny climate. As experts in dermatology, we are committed to helping our patients in Melbourne and beyond navigate these challenges with confidence and care.
Exploring Dermatology and Our Approach
Dermatology is a crucial field of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. Our team at Indigo Dermatology, led by Dr. Sumeet Thareja, is devoted to improving the health and appearance of your skin. We offer a range of services, including skin cancer treatments, designed to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our approach is patient-centered, ensuring that you receive the utmost care and attention tailored to your specific condition.
Focusing on Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer. It often appears as a red, scaly bump or lesion on sun-exposed areas of the body. If left untreated, it can grow large and spread to other parts of the body. Early detection and treatment are key to managing SCC effectively. At Indigo Dermatology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating SCC, providing a range of options tailored to your individual needs.

Choosing the right dermatologist is vital for effective skin cancer management. Our Melbourne location is one of several that offer expert care and convenient access for our patients.

Comprehensive Skin Examination
A thorough skin examination is the first step in identifying potential skin cancer. Our dermatologists at Indigo Dermatology perform comprehensive checks, looking for any signs of abnormal growths or changes in your skin. Regular skin exams are an essential part of maintaining skin health, especially for those at higher risk of skin cancer.
The Importance of a Skin Biopsy
If any suspicious lesions are identified during your examination, a skin biopsy may be recommended. This procedure involves taking a small sample of skin tissue for further analysis under a microscope. It is a critical step in confirming a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma or any other skin conditions, enabling us to develop an appropriate treatment plan for you.

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we offer a variety of skin treatments tailored to your specific needs. For squamous cell carcinoma, treatment options at Indigo Dermatology may include surgical excision, Mohs surgery, cryotherapy, or topical medications. Our goal is to provide the most effective treatment while minimizing any impact on your daily life.
