What’s On YOUR Skin? Perhaps You’re Due for a Skin Check – Not All Physicians Have the Same Expertise

By Joseph Onorato, MD, FAAD

Living in Florida year-round or even for just a few months out of the year, is beautiful and we’re blessed to have so many sunny days, but with all of the sunshine, there is the looming possibility of skin damage and cancer. Most people know that it is critical to wear sunscreen, avoid overexposure, and get skin treatments and checkups, but not all take this advice.

No judgment—We’ve all had days where we’ve inadvertently gotten a little burnt, not to mention our younger years when we would bask in the sun for hours. The earlier the diagnosis of skin cancer or other conditions, the better.

Every hour a person dies of melanoma, and this year alone, over 76,000 new cases of melanoma will be diagnosed. On average skin cancer screenings take about 10 minutes, which could potentially save your life.

Along with the unfortunate diagnosis of melanoma, there are many other concerns and cancers that can be detected in your dermatologist’s office with a thorough, proper, skin cancer screening. On a regular basis, you should have a screening at least once a year. And, because some forms of skin cancer grow very rapidly, if you are experiencing any new forms of lesions, bumps, moles that are of concern, you should schedule a dermatology appointment immediately.
