Problems & Solutions
Why is skin cancer screening important?
Regular skin cancer screenings help detect suspicious moles or spots early, often before they become dangerous. At Averagederm, early detection means faster, more effective treatment and greater peace of mind.
How often should I get a skin cancer screening?
It’s recommended to have a professional skin check at least once a year, or more often if you have fair skin, a history of sunburns, or a family history of skin cancer.
What happens during a skin cancer screening at Averagederm?
Our specialists carefully examine your skin from head to toe, checking for unusual moles, growths, or discoloration. If anything looks suspicious, we may recommend further testing or a biopsy for accurate diagnosis.
Is a skin cancer screening painful?
No. The screening is completely non-invasive and pain-free. If a biopsy is needed, it’s performed gently under local anesthesia for your comfort.
What are the warning signs of skin cancer I should look for?
Watch for moles or spots that change in size, shape, or color; have irregular borders; itch or bleed; or look different from your other moles. If you notice any of these signs, schedule an appointment right away.
Can skin cancer be treated successfully if found early?
Yes — when detected early, most types of skin cancer are highly treatable. Averagederm’s early detection approach ensures you receive the right care as soon as possible.
