Dr Peter Rankin

Dr Peter Rankin is a dedicated General Practitioner who provides comprehensive primary care to patients in Yarraville, Australia. With a strong commitment to patient-centred care, he delivers a wide range of general health services designed to support the long-term well-being of individuals and families within the community. His reassuring and professional approach ensures that patients receive thorough assessments and personalised management plans for their diverse healthcare needs.

In addition to his general practice work, Dr Rankin has a particular clinical interest in the early detection, diagnosis, and management of skin cancers. He is highly skilled in utilising advanced dermoscopy techniques, which involve high-powered light magnification to examine the pigmented layers of the skin where moles and melanomas form. This precise method allows him to perform detailed full-body mapping, monitor complex lesions, and identify subtle changes that may not be visible to the naked eye, ensuring timely intervention for conditions such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.

Dr Rankin completed his Master of Medicine specialising in Skin Cancer at the University of Queensland in 2013. This advanced postgraduate training equipped him with specialised expertise in skin cancer medicine, enabling him to offer high-quality preventative care and targeted treatments. His clinical capabilities include performing cryotherapy (freezing) for solar keratoses, assessing benign skin growths such as seborrheic keratoses, and conducting minor surgical procedures to remove suspicious lesions.
