Did you know skin cancer is the most common kind of cancer? Fortunately, you can catch problems early with a skin cancer screening. This non-invasive screening may never find anything of concern, but it could also save you from more invasive treatments in the future.Â
What is a Skin Cancer Screening?Â
A skin cancer screening is a visual scan performed by a dermatologist or other skin expert. During your screening, your provider will check every part of your skin. This includes areas such as the scalp, between the toes, and the soles of your feet. Although it may feel awkward to have someone look at your skin so closely, keep in might that your provider is looking to diagnose, not judge.Â
