What Is a Skin Cancer Screening?
A skin cancer screening is a medical examination performed by a dermatologist to carefully check the skin for unusual moles, growths, or lesions that could be cancerous or precancerous. During a full body skin cancer screening, we examine your skin from head to toe, including areas you may not easily see yourself—such as the scalp, back, and behind the ears.
This exam allows for the early detection of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, the three most common types of skin cancer. Skin cancer often develops in areas exposed to sunlight. Regular skin cancer screening is especially important for patients with fair skin and hair, a history of tanning, or a family history of the disease.
Your skin deserves the highest level of expertise. At Hilton Dermatology + Aesthetics, every aspect of skin cancer treatment is performed exclusively by our team of three board-certified dermatologists.
When Should You Have a Skin Cancer Screening?
Most adults benefit from having a skin cancer screening at least once a year, though some patients may need more frequent exams. You should schedule a screening sooner if you notice changes in existing moles, develop new growths, or see spots that itch, bleed, or don’t heal.
You can use the ABCDE method of evaluating moles—Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter, and Evolution—to determine whether a spot may be suspicious. If necessary, we may recommend a biopsy for a definitive diagnosis.

What Happens During a Skin Cancer Screening?
Your comfort is always a priority during a full body skin cancer screening. You’ll wear a medical gown, and one of our dermatologists will visually inspect your skin using magnification or dermoscopy for a closer look at concerning areas. If we identify a suspicious lesion, we may remove a small tissue sample for testing.
The process is straightforward, minimally invasive, and typically completed in under 30 minutes. Most importantly, it provides the reassurance that your skin has been thoroughly evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist.

How Can a Skin Cancer Screening Protect Your Health?
The goal of skin cancer screening is simple: early detection saves lives. When caught early, most forms of skin cancer are highly treatable and can often be removed with minimal procedures. Without screening, skin cancers may progress and become more difficult to manage.
Routine screenings with our Hilton Dermatology team are the most effective way to ensure that if skin cancer does develop, it can be diagnosed and treated quickly. Regular check-ups, combined with sun protection and self-exams, form the foundation of lifelong skin health.
