Dr Amarnath Bhat (Amar) is a general practitioner with special interest in skin cancers and skin surgery. Originally from India , Amar moved to Australia in 2010 and received his Fellowship ( FRACGP) in 2017.
All his general practice training happened in country town of Mildura also known as ‘Sunraysia’ district . Known for its long and intense summer, he noticed a lot of his patients especially farmers working in vineyards were having skin cancers. He has since been updating himself on nuances of skin cancers and has completed advanced and expert training on skin cancer surgery through Healthcert. He has completed master degree in the field of skin cancer from the university of Queensland
Dermatoscopy has been his passion and he has incorporated skin checks into his everyday general practice. Dr Bhat brings with himself this vast experience of the last 10 years which would lay the foundation of the ‘Adelaide Skin Cancer Clinic’.
Our Aim in ‘Adelaide Skin Cancer Clinic’ is to identify and treat skin cancers in its infant stages through regular (6 monthly) skin checks using computerised Dermoscopy.
Our Goal is to 'Save Lives’ by early detection and management of all skin cancers. We will strive to push our Motto 'Early Detection Saves Lives’ utilising clinical skills and modern technology.
Melanoma is the 4th most common cancer in Australia. It can happen in both sun exposed and sun protected areas of skin!
The other common skin cancers which occur more commonly in sun exposed areas are lightly categorised as Non-Melanoma Skin cancers ( NMSC). Most common of these cancers are 'Squamous Cell Cancer (SCC)’ and 'Basal Cell Cancer (BCC)’.
BCC is the most common skin cancer and is about 3 times more common than SCC. Aptly called 'Rodent ulcer’,BCC tend to spread locally and distant spread is rare.
