This screening is for exposed skin only, the person will not change into a gown. Please wear loose clothing and shorts to make sure more skin is available to be screened. Avoid wearing makeup and keep hair loose to allow the skin to be properly examined.
Yearly skin cancer screenings should be completed by a dermatologist and monthly self-exams can help you catch skin changes early to be examined. When doing a skin screening, look for new spots, spots that are different than others, and any spots that changed, are itching, or bleeding. When skin cancer is caught early, it is more easily treatable.
