Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, but when detected early it is highly treatable. A full body skin exam allows dermatologists to identify suspicious moles, lesions, or skin changes before they progress into more serious conditions. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, our dermatologists perform detailed head-to-toe skin examinations to assess your skin health and detect early signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other abnormal skin lesions. Routine screenings are one of the most effective ways to monitor your skin and ensure any concerning changes are identified early.
During a full body skin exam, your dermatologist will carefully examine your skin from head to toe. This includes evaluating areas such as the scalp, face, back, chest, arms, legs, hands, feet, and other areas that are difficult to examine on your own.
Dermatologists assess moles and lesions for warning signs of skin cancer using the ABCDE rule:
If a mole appears suspicious, your dermatologist may use dermoscopy, a specialized magnification tool that allows for a closer evaluation of structures beneath the skin surface.
If necessary, a biopsy may be recommended to determine whether a lesion is benign or cancerous.whether melanoma or another type of skin cancer is present.
Mole mapping is recommended for people with many moles, atypical (irregular) moles, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or significant sun exposure. It’s especially useful for individuals at higher risk of melanoma.
No, mole mapping is completely non-invasive and painless. It involves taking detailed photographs of your skin, no needles, surgery, or discomfort required.
No, mole mapping is a complementary tool. It enhances a dermatologist’s ability to monitor your skin over time but does not replace a full skin examination or biopsy if needed.
