Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients benefit from a yearly skin exam. If you have a history of skin cancer, lots of sun exposure, or atypical moles, your dermatologist may recommend more frequent visits.
If a spot looks concerning, a biopsy may be recommended. In many cases it can be done during the same appointment, depending on what is found and your care plan.
Arrive with clean skin and minimal makeup. Avoid self-tanner before your visit, and bring a list of medications plus notes or photos of any spots you want checked.
