Appointments for the screenings can be made Monday, May 14, through Friday, May 18. 1997 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd. A skin cancer screening takes only five minutes, according to Dr. Julian Trevino, a Wright State dermatologist. If the skin lesion has enlarged or changed color, or if it has become ulcerated or irritated, it should be checked by a dermatologist. Other types of skin cancer, when detected early, can be removed before they become large and disfiguring.
Admission is free, but advance registration is required.
The screenings are part of a nationwide program sponsored by the American Academy of Dermatology to promote early detection and teach prevention of skin cancer.
