Moles

Moles are clusters of differently coloured cells on the skin. They may be large or small, flat or raised, dark or light, round, oval or irregularly shaped, and in most cases they are not sinister.

They may occur from damage to the skin, usually from the sun, and are especially common in pale skinned Australians of European descent, but may occur in all races. These moles arrive at some stage after birth and are called acquired moles.

Some people are born with hyper-pigmented skin areas, called birthmarks, or congenital moles.

Moles are really only a matter of concern when they change in appearance. It is helpful to know what moles and skin markings you have, so that you may determine if any changes are significant. It is best to check all of your moles at least once a year to note any changes.

There is a simple way to determine if any change to a mole is likely to be an issue, or a sign of possible melanoma, or skin cancer: the ABCD coding.

A = asymmetry, does one half of the mole look different to the other?

B = border, has the edge or border of the mole become irregular or blurry?

C = colour, has the colour changed, is the mole now unevenly coloured? 

D = diameter, has the mole become larger?

If any of the ABCD signs above have changed for any of your moles, then you need to seek some help from your doctor or pharmacist. If you are unsure if you need to get your moles checked then talk to your community pharmacist. They can advise you if the moles have changed and refer you for specialist help to get your moles treated.

If your moles have not changed, then congratulate yourself for passing the ABCD check, and continue to use sunscreen and protect your skin from sun damage in the future.  

Family Pharmacy

Family Pharmacy Granville: What a Community Pharmacy Should Feel Like

When you step into a pharmacy, you expect more than just shelves of products. You want support, knowledge, and a familiar face. At Family Pharmacy Granville, we believe a pharmacy should feel like part of your everyday life. Like a trusted neighbour who’s always there when you need them.

We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are part of your community. And we’re proud to support your health, your family, and your future with genuine care.

A community pharmacy is about people, not just prescriptions. It is a place where locals come for honest answers, everyday health solutions, and friendly service. Whether you are picking up your regular medication, asking about a new script, or looking for relief from seasonal allergies, we are here to help with practical advice you can count on.

At Family Pharmacy Granville, we serve more than just customers. We support families from all walks of life. Our team takes the time to listen, explain and recommend what is best for you. It is this personalised approach that sets a real pharmacy apart from the rest.

In a busy world filled with large chain stores and self-serve checkouts, the local touch is often missing. But health is personal. It affects your body, your peace of mind, and the people you love. That is why community pharmacies still matter.

Our Granville team understands the cultural diversity, languages and family dynamics that make this area unique. We help grandparents understand new medications. We explain side effects in simple terms. We work with local GPs to ensure your care is connected and consistent.

That is the role of a true community pharmacy. And it is a role we take seriously.

Being a chemist is more than stocking shelves. It means being prepared, being patient, and being present. Every interaction with our pharmacists and staff is based on respect, privacy and professional standards. We follow strict AHPRA guidelines so you always receive ethical and evidence-informed information.

We are also proud to offer essential pharmacy services like prescription dispensing, Webster-paks for easier medication management, health advice, and home delivery options for eligible patients. These services are designed to make your life easier, safer and more manageable.

As a family-owned and operated pharmacy, we understand the pressures families face. Health issues do not always come with a warning. Kids get fevers at night, pain can flare up on weekends, and stress doesn’t wait for business hours. That is why our team is ready with solutions that are practical and accessible.

Whether you need over-the-counter relief, a quick chat with a pharmacist, or help choosing the right baby care product, we’re here to guide you through it with care and compassion.

Our pharmacy is built on values that never go out of style — trust, reliability, and a genuine interest in your well-being. We are not just a chemist or a warehouse. We are your local pharmacy. And we are proud to be part of your journey, every step of the way.

If you have not visited Family Pharmacy Granville yet, now is a great time to drop in and see what community care truly feels like.
