Skin Cancer Screening
When to Get a Skin Cancer Screening
If you have any of the following happening on your skin, ask your primary care provider for a referral to dermatology so we can see you:
- If you have a spot that’s bleeding for no apparent reason or a spot that you remember injuring, but you injured it four to six weeks ago and it’s still bleeding off and on.
- With pigmented growths, if you have a brown or black spot that’s changing in size, shape or color.
- If you have a history of skin cancer or atypical moles, you should regularly see us for exams.
Preparing for a Skin Cancer Screening
- Decide if you want your dermatology provider to take a look at a handful of individual spots of concern or a full body skin cancer exam. It’s a matter of what’s comfortable for you and what your skin looks like.
- Check your own skin before the appointment. If you notice anything new, changing or unusual, point it out to us.
- Remove your finger and toe nail polish so we can see the skin under your nails.
- Wear your hair down. Your provider will take a look at your scalp if you’re doing a full body exam.
- Remove any makeup so your provider can see the skin around your eyes.
