HB: What issues do a skin check work to address?<\/h3>\n
\n

Skin checks are a very important part of skin cancer surveillance and a great time to speak to your dermatologist about your skincare needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

HB: Walk us through the process.<\/h3>\n

When you come into the office you will be asked to remove all your clothing down to your undergarments and get into a gown. Your skin will be checked thoroughly from head to toe including your scalp and in between your toes for any suspicious spots. Any spots that are suspicious will be biopsied and sent to the lab for evaluation. This is also the time to discuss whatever else is concerning you about your skin.<\/p>\n

HB: Who is a good candidate for a skin check with you?<\/h3>\n

Everyone should get an annual skin exam. Those people with a family or personal history of skin cancer or significant UV exposure at a higher risk and need to make sure to come at least once a year or even every 6 months.<\/p>\n

HB: What is recovery process like?<\/h3>\n

If a biopsy is performed you will need to take care of the wound for 1-2 weeks. Most wounds heal very quickly with very little to no scarring. In between skin checks we would also advise patients to check their skin once per month to make sure they don\u2019t see any new or changing spots.<\/p>\n

HB: What is the cost?<\/h3>\n

Insurance usually covers skin checks but depending on your insurance you may have to pay a copay or your deductible. We can help give you an idea of those costs when you call into the office.<\/p>\n
