Understanding who needs a skin check for cancer is important so that the patient can undergo early skin cancer detection and treatment. Here’s a step-by-step guide to understanding how important skin checks are, and how our specialized dermatologists can help your skin.
Who Should Get Routine Skin Checks?
There are some factors that increase the risk of skin cancer. Routine screenings are especially important to you if you fall in any of the following:
1. Excessive Exposure to Sun
- Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays increases your risk.
- Patients with a history of getting sunburns or have used tanning beds more frequently are at a great risk.
2. Fair skin
- Skin cancer is very common for people with fair skin tone, freckles, or blonde or red hair.
3. Family History of Skin Cancer
- Hereditary history of melanoma and other skin cancers increases one’s chances of developing this disease.
4. Many or atypical Moles
- People having many moles or moles that have an irregular shape, size, or color need to be cautious.
5. Immunosuppressed
- Conditions such as organ transplantation or some medical conditions can compromise immunity, making you more susceptible to skin cancer.
6. Past History of Skin Cancer
- If you have had skin cancer in the past, follow-up visits are necessary to identify any recurrence or new lesions.
