Skin Cancer Screenings in San Antonio, TX

A skin cancer screening is a preventive check performed by a dermatologist to identify suspicious spots, moles, or lesions that may indicate early signs of skin cancer. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, we offer full-body skin exams to help detect potential issues before they become serious. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, but it is also one of the most treatable when caught early. Regular screenings, especially for individuals with risk factors for skin cancer, are an essential part of maintaining long-term skin health.

 

 

During a screening for skin cancer, your provider will visually examine your skin from head to toe, including areas that are difficult to see on your own, such as the scalp, back, and behind the ears. The process is quick and does not require any blood work or recovery time. Our dermatologist will assess each mole or lesion for signs of irregularity and document anything that may need to be monitored or biopsied. If anything suspicious is found, we will talk through the next steps and provide guidance on treatment or further testing as needed.

 

 

Skin cancer screenings offer numerous benefits that support long-term skin health, such as:

  • Early detection of potentially cancerous growths
  • High cure rates when skin cancer is caught early
  • Peace of mind through professional evaluation
  • Monitoring of hard-to-see areas, like the scalp and back
  • Identification of unusual moles or lesions before symptoms arise
  • Education on how to perform monthly self-exams at home
