Skin Cancer Screening

Early detection is valuable in successfully treating skin cancer. Regular full body screening is recommended as well. A biopsy is performed to properly diagnose suspected cancerous growths.

Skin cancer can often be identified as a new or changed growth on the skin that may often occur on the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms, hands or legs. The appearance of the growth depends on the type of cancer, but can appear as:

• Pearly or waxy bump
• Flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion
• Firm, red nodule
• Crusted, flat lesion
• Large brown spot with darker speckles
• Mole that changes shape or color
• Shiny, firm bumps

Full-body Skin Exam

Full-body skin exams are an important tool in screening patients for benign or cancerous lesions that they may not have been able to see or recognize on their own. From head to toe and back to front, we inspect the skin for any suspicious growths. This quick and painless preventive measure is an invaluable tool in the early detection of skin cancer as well as many other dermatological conditions.
