Skin cancer
Seeing a dermatologist for changes in your skin or regular checkups can help prevent future complications. One of the most common skin concerns that we check for is the development of skin cancer. In this pursuit, it is important to have any suspicious moles looked at by a physician, as changes in size, shape or appearance can be an indicator for skin cancer. Additionally, exposure to high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation can increase your risk for developing the disease.
When should I go to the dermatologist
If you or your child are experiencing any of the following symptoms, consider visiting a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment:
- Cysts
