What Are Skin Cancer Screenings & Treatments?
Skin cancer screenings are detailed evaluations where a provider examines your skin for suspicious moles, lesions, or discolorations. If cancerous or precancerous areas are identified, personalized treatment options—ranging from minor in-office procedures to advanced therapies—are offered to remove or manage the condition effectively.
How Skin Cancer Screenings & Treatments Work
During a screening, your skin is carefully checked from head to toe for abnormal spots, irregular moles, or areas of concern. If needed, a biopsy may be performed to confirm a diagnosis. Treatments vary based on the type and stage of skin cancer, and may include excision, cryotherapy, topical medications, or referral for advanced therapies. Early detection ensures the most effective, least invasive care.

Common conditions include:
- Suspicious or changing moles

Routine screenings and timely treatments protect both your skin and overall health.
