Skin Cancer Screening
Dr. Pooyan Rohani, a fellowship-trained, Ivy League–educated dermatologist, performs every screening with medical precision, ensuring you receive trusted care.
Why Skin Cancer Screening Matters
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, yet it is also one of the most treatable when detected early. Unfortunately, many skin cancers go unnoticed until they have advanced. A professional skin exam provides the expertise and technology necessary to identify concerns before they become serious.
How Skin Cancer Screening Works
A professional screening is a simple, painless, and comprehensive exam:
- History & Risk Review – Dr. Rohani will ask about your personal and family history of skin cancer, sun exposure habits, and any spots that concern you.
- Full-Body Skin Examination – Using dermoscopy (a magnified imaging tool), each mole, freckle, and lesion is carefully evaluated from head to toe.
- Documentation & Monitoring – Lesions may be photographed or mapped for future comparison, ensuring early detection of subtle changes.
- Immediate Action if Needed – Suspicious spots can be biopsied the same day, minimizing delays in diagnosis and treatment.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
Preparation for your skin cancer screening is simple and ensures the exam is as thorough as possible:
- Remove nail polish from fingers and toes so nails can be examined.
- Do not wear makeup or heavy lotions on the day of your appointment.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing that is easy to change in and out of.
- Make note of any new, changing, or bothersome spots you want to point out.
- Bring your medical history, including family history of skin cancer if known.
Who Should Get Screened?
- Adults of all ages, especially those with fair skin, light eyes, or a history of sunburns.
- Individuals with numerous moles or unusual-looking moles.
- Patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer.
- Anyone who spends significant time outdoors or has used tanning beds.
Most patients benefit from annual screenings, while those with a higher risk may need more frequent visits.
