6 Surprising Places
Skin Cancer Develops
Skin cancer develops in people of all ages, races, and nationalities. It can also develop on any area of the body, including these six unlikely places.
How often should you have a skin cancer screening? The answer really depends on the individual patient. In general, skin that has had more sun exposure is more at risk of skin cancer. Excessive unprotected sun exposure at an early age can also come back later as skin cancer. A family history of skin cancer may also increase the possibility of a patient developing skin cancer in their lifetime. That’s why we suggest coming in sooner rather than later to get an overall skin cancer screening and assessment. The goal should be early detection of skin cancer.
Why is a skin cancer screening important? Remember that the skin is the largest organ of the body. Not surprisingly, the skin is susceptible to all types of different cancers, pre-cancers, and disorders. It’s a complicated organ that gets exposed to a lot of things on a daily basis. For the untrained eye, it can be easy to ignore small spots on the skin. Unfortunately, skin cancer can come in all shapes and sizes. A small spot at the surface could be a much bigger problem underneath. Think of it like a small plant in a garden with larger roots beneath the ground. Let our team of experts give you a skin cancer screening to make sure your skin is safe. We would love to have you as a patient.
