Dermatology Skin Cancer Screening
1 in 5 Americans is diagnosed with skin cancer in their life. That is 9,500 individuals daily.
However, not all diagnoses turn into serious cases.
The key?
Skin cancer screening, detection, and diagnosis at an early stage for effective treatment.
With the help of Christie Pinolini, now you can get yourself or your loved ones screened in case of any symptoms or suspicions.
Know The Types
We believe awareness is the first step to a cure.
There are three basic types of skin cancers.
- Basal Cell Carcinoma
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Melanoma
While the first rarely spreads from its initial area, usually the face, the third is the most dangerous type.
With early detection through screening, a cure becomes a high possibility.
Look For The Signs
How do you know when to schedule a screening?
Look out for the following signs:
- Open, bleeding sores
- Change in mole
- Distinct skin growth
- Heavy sunburns
- Constant itching
- Scaly skin
If you are confused or have doubts about your skin, contact us for a virtual consultation session or book a screening.
Our Screening Process
We do not require any bloodwork nor invasive procedures for screening.
It is a full-body exam costing $100 that lasts for 15-20 minutes.
Our expert reviews your symptoms, analyzes doubtful areas discovered during self-examination, and conducts a thorough body scan. These include regions like:
- Face
- Scalp
- Neck
- Ears
- Arms
- Groin
- Back
- Toes
The Next Step
A screening only looks for precancerous cells. Or signs or symptoms that may look like cancer.
If we find such growth, the screening can be transformed into a biopsy then, or later, with ARNP Christie Pinolini, who will extract a sample to test whether it is cancerous or benign.
Schedule A Skin Screening
If you see any symptoms, reach out to us immediately for a screening.
We also provide home visits, especially for the elderly.
If you have a family history of skin cancer, make annual screening sessions a must to remain on top of your health.
