What is it?
A full body skin exam is a thorough examination of your skin to check for signs of skin cancer, unusual moles or other skin conditions. It’s an essential part of preventive skincare, especially for individuals with a history of sun exposure or a family history of skin cancer. The exam is quick, non-invasive and can help detect potential issues early, when treatment is most effective.
Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers, but when caught early, it is highly treatable. A full body skin exam helps detect any suspicious moles, lesions or changes in your skin, so we can address concerns before they become serious. Regular exams are especially important for individuals with fair skin, a history of sunburns or those who use tanning beds.
What to expect
During your full body skin exam, our provider will carefully inspect your skin from head to toe, including areas that are often overlooked, such as your scalp, between your toes and your back. The exam is painless and usually takes about 10 to 20 minutes. If any suspicious areas are found, we may recommend further testing or biopsies for a closer look.
