Dermatologist Skin Checks in Beverly Hills & San Gabriel 

Yearly skin checks with a dermatologist are an important part of maintaining overall skin health and preventing skin cancer.

During a skin check, we will examine the entire skin surface, including areas that are not easily visible – such as the scalp, ears, and back. We will look for any moles, spots or other skin changes that may be suspicious or concerning. If we find any suspicious or changing moles, we may take a biopsy – which is a small sample of the mole – to test it for malignancy.

Early detection of skin cancer is crucial for effective treatment. When skin cancer is detected early, it is often highly treatable and has better outcomes. During your skin check, we will look for any other skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, and may provide advice on how to manage them. We will also be able to provide you with recommendations for sun protection and skin care, which can help to prevent skin cancer and other skin conditions.

It's also important to note that people with a family history of skin cancer, or those who have a lot of moles, freckles, or other risk factors, may need to have more frequent skin checks. Additionally, people with a history of skin cancer should have regular skin check-ups.

A yearly skin check with a dermatologist is a simple and effective way to protect your skin health and catch any potential skin cancer early. It's a small step that can make a big difference in the long run. Make an appointment to visit our offices in Beverly Hills or San Gabriel to begin your skin check routine.
