Does anyone have any knowledge about the best dermatologists for screening freckly Ang mo skin for skin cancers. My initial research seems show most dermatologists are of the cosmetic kind. Any info gratefully accepted. Regards

I get it done in Australia. There are mole clinics all over the place. I even take my American wife there who was astonished at high quality of care and level of treatment; FYI Skin Cancer is heading towards being the 3rd or 4th common cause of death in Australia in the next decade - my cousin just lost a 40 year old wife to it - she was gone in 8 weeks. I would not bother in Asia.

I had the screening done and actually even one "mole" removed at the National Skin Centre. Probably one of my very few encounters with the local medical services where I had no complaints. It was long time ago though.
