What Is A Skin Cancer Screening?
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 20% of Americans will have skin cancer in their lifetime. The high prevalence of skin cancer means regular screenings are essential, particularly when you have a family or personal history of skin cancer. Detecting skin cancer early is essential to provide you with more treatment options and improved results. As a skilled dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, Dr. Oben Blair Ojong offers comprehensive skin cancer exams and biopsies of abnormal growths. Contact Rêve Dermatology and Aesthetics in The Woodlands, TX to schedule your skin cancer exam.
How Are Skin Cancer Screenings Performed?
At your skin exam, Dr. Ojong will check your entire body for birthmarks, moles, and any other abnormal growths. She might create a mole map of spots to indicate areas of concern and to quickly identify new growths at future screenings. Dr. Ojong can show you how to perform a self-exam between your appointments.
If a suspicious area is found, Dr. Ojong may perform a biopsy. She will numb the region and then shave off a small sample. The biopsy will be sent to a pathology lab for analysis. After we receive your pathology report, you will be contacted with the results.
