Skin Cancer Screening in St. George, Utah
Have a skin check or a new or changing spot looked at, with next steps explained.
Keeping an eye on your skin
Southern Utah’s sunshine makes skin awareness important. A skin check lets your provider look at spots you are concerned about and talk about changes to watch for.
If something needs a closer look, your provider will discuss next steps, which may include monitoring, a procedure or a referral to a dermatologist.
What a skin check may include
Depending on your risk factors and concerns, the visit may include:
- Personal and family skin cancer history
- Sun exposure and tanning history
- A look at new or changing spots
- Mole and skin lesion review
- Review of previous skin records
- Sun-protection discussion
Reasons people ask for a skin check
- A mole that has changed in size, shape or color
- A new spot that looks different from others
- A sore that doesn’t heal
- A personal or family history of skin cancer
- Questions about sun protection
Before your visit
Note any spots that concern you and roughly when you first noticed changes. Photos taken over time can help.
Avoid wearing makeup or nail polish over areas you want checked.
Before you call
A skin check cannot rule out every concern. If a spot changes after your visit, call to arrange another look.
