Spring into Health: The Importance of Yearly Skin Checks
As the flowers bloom and the sun shines brighter, springtime beckons us outdoors to enjoy the warmth and beauty of the season. However, amidst the excitement of outdoor activities, it’s crucial not to overlook the importance of protecting our skin. With increased sun exposure during the spring and upcoming summer months, now is the perfect time to schedule your yearly skin check at Pinnacle Dermatology.
Understanding Skin Checks
At Pinnacle Dermatology, we prioritize the health and well-being of our patients. Regular skin checks are a fundamental part of our preventive care approach, especially for individuals with fair skin or a family history of skin cancer. Regardless of age or skin tone, routine skin checks play a vital role in maintaining healthier, clearer skin and detecting any potential issues early on.
What to Expect During a Skin Check
During your skin check appointment, our experienced team will conduct a thorough examination of your skin. We will inquire about your medical history and any specific concerns you may have regarding your skin. Our goal is to identify any abnormal changes or signs of potential skin cancer, such as unusual moles, dark spots, or suspicious lesions.
Skin Cancer Symptoms & Treatment Options
Skin cancer can manifest in various forms, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Symptoms may range from open sores and red patches to inflamed, scaly skin or unusual moles. Early detection is key to successful treatment, which is why regular skin checks are crucial.
If skin cancer is detected, our team at Pinnacle Dermatology will discuss the available treatment options tailored to your specific needs. These may include topical ointments, electrodesiccation and curettage, surgical excision, or frozen sections, depending on the type and location of the skin cancer and your overall health.
Partnering for Your Health
While the thought of a skin check may seem daunting, our team is committed to providing a comfortable and supportive environment for all our patients. We believe in partnering with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that prioritizes your health and well-being.
