Annual Skin Check/Screening
A skin check is a visual inspection of your skin for any signs of skin cancer. It is important to have regular skin checks, especially if you have fair skin or a family history of skin cancer.
Undergoing an annual skin check is of utmost importance for maintaining good skin health. Regular skin checks performed by a dermatologist can help identify potential skin issues, detect early signs of skin cancer, and ensure prompt intervention and treatment if necessary. Here are some key reasons why an annual skin check is crucial:
Early detection of skin cancer: Skin checks enable dermatologists to identify suspicious moles, growths, or lesions that may indicate skin cancer, such as melanoma.
Monitoring changes in existing moles: Regular skin checks allow dermatologists to monitor any changes in color, size, shape, or texture of mole which may be warning signs of melanoma or other skin conditions that require medical attention.
Identification of new moles or growths: Skin checks help identify any new moles or growths that have developed since the previous check.
Prevention and guidance: Dermatologists can provide valuable guidance on sun protection, skin care, and early detection techniques during a skin check.
Peace of mind: Undergoing an annual skin check offers peace of mind, knowing that a professional has thoroughly assessed your skin health and addressed any concerns. It allows for proactive management of potential skin issues, reducing anxiety and promoting overall well-being.
The skin cancer screening is conducted by board-certified dermatologists who are dedicated to early detection of skin cancer and raising awareness about prevention techniques.
Duration of the screening:
The entire screening process, including completing necessary paperwork and getting your skin examined, usually takes around 10 minutes.
Areas screened for skin cancer:
If the screening takes place in a private setting, a full-body examination can be conducted upon your request. We recommend comprehensive screenings whenever feasible.
If you do not get regular skin checks, you may not catch skin cancer early. Early-stage skin cancer is much easier to treat than advanced-stage skin cancer. If you notice any changes in your skin, see a dermatologist right away.
