Signs It's Time for a Full Body Skin Cancer Check
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, yet many cases are highly treatable when detected early.
A full-body skin exam allows a board-certified dermatologist to evaluate moles, spots, and skin changes that may indicate skin cancer.
You should consider scheduling a skin check if:
You have a history of sunburns.
You spend significant time outdoors.
You have numerous moles.
A mole has changed in size, shape, or color.
You have a personal or family history of skin cancer.
Many skin cancers develop in areas patients rarely examine themselves.
Routine skin checks are particularly important for adults over age 40, although skin cancer can occur at any age.
At OSVI Dermatology, our providers perform thorough skin examinations designed to identify suspicious lesions as early as possible.
Early detection saves lives and often results in simpler, more effective treatment.
