Protect Your Skin with Annual Skin Screenings

What is Annual Skin Screening?

Annual skin screening is a preventive measure to protect your skin from potential skin cancer. During a skin screening, a dermatologist checks your skin for any suspicious growths or moles that could be cancerous. Early detection of skin cancer is crucial for successful treatment.

Why is Annual Skin Screening Important?

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, and it can be deadly if not caught early. Annual skin screening can help detect skin cancer at its earliest stages, when it’s most treatable.

What Happens During an Annual Skin Screening?

During an annual skin screening, a dermatologist will visually examine your skin from head to toe. They may also use a dermatoscope, a special instrument that provides a magnified view of the skin, to closely examine any moles or growths. If the dermatologist finds any suspicious growths, they may recommend a biopsy to determine if the growth is cancerous.

Who Needs Annual Skin Screening?

Anyone can develop skin cancer, regardless of age, gender, or skin color. However, people with a higher risk of skin cancer, such as those with fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, or a history of sunburns or excessive sun exposure, should consider annual skin screening.
