I'd like to see a doctor in regards to checking a few freckles and moles for skin cancer. To be honest, I'm not all that confident in them doing a good job, at least not to the same extent as doctors back home in Australia who are probably more experienced in this area.

Aside from a trip to the hospital, can anyone suggest where I should go? Perhaps a dermatologist?

Thanks in advance.

Check out some of these threads. I've been looking for a dermatologist as well for skin-cancer checks. I think you want to try and find someone who specializes in skin cancer. Apparently the more acne and cosmetic-oriented dermatologists will only try to push overpriced face creams on you.

Good luck! and let us know if you find anyone who's any good

I'd say go to a dermatologist and see how it goes, and if you don't feel comfortable with the outcome, go to one of the international clinics for a second opinion.

The dermatologist will remove and biopsy any worrisome moles or spots. You can have full confidence in the results.

If you are in Eastern Seoul you can set up an appointment by calling 02-440-7304.

We have full English services at our hospital.
