Every patient is routinely offered a comprehensive full body skin exam at San Diego Family Dermatology.
What the exam looks for
During the exam, your dermatologist reviews your skin from head to toe, looking closely for developments that may indicate pre-cancer, active skin cancer, or atypical lesions.
If something needs a closer look
If a spot needs further evaluation, our team can discuss next steps with you, which may include surgical treatment, including Mohs micrographic surgery.
