Skin Cancer Screening

You can expect a thorough and patient-centered skin cancer screening at Orlando Dermatology Center. Your dermatologist first asks about your concerns and reviews your medical and family history. Then, they examine every inch of your skin from the top of your scalp to the bottom of your feet, looking for abnormal skin lesions. The team will create and chart your moles so they can monitor changes over time. If they find a suspicious growth, the team removes it and sends it to the in-house histopathology lab for testing.

The recommended frequency of your skin cancer screenings depends on your risk factors. The team at Orlando Dermatology Center advises you to do your own self-skin exam once a month. Being familiar with your skin makes it easier for you to spot irregularities. You may benefit from annual skin cancer screenings. The team may have you come in more frequently for skin checks if they have concerns about certain growths. Call Orlando Dermatology Center today or schedule your skin cancer screening online.
