Skin Cancer Screening
Derma Skin Clinic takes pride in providing a comprehensive skin exam to help safeguard the health of all of our patients. It's critical to keep in mind that our skin cancer screening is a standalone exam that should be completed independently of any other dermatological services or procedures we might provide. We therefore ask all of our patients to please specify when scheduling a screening appointment and to arrange their schedules accordingly.
A full screening exam entails you taking off all of your clothing so we can examine your scalp, face, behind the ears, eyelids, trunk, arms, legs, genitals, and even between the toes.
For the majority of people, this should be done annually. For patients with a high risk of developing skin cancer, the doctor may occasionally advise getting full skin exams done 2-4 times annually. Your risk profile informs the suggested frequency of skin exams.
