Skin cancer screenings are conducted every day by dermatologists.  To schedule a screening, simply call your dermatologist’s office and ask to schedule a full body skin exam.  Many dermatologists also offer free skin cancer screenings to the public.  Current estimates are that more than 3.5 million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year.  May is “Melanoma Awareness Month”, and is a popular time for these skin cancer screenings to be offered.  Check the American Academy of Dermatology website (www.aad.org) for more information on where to find a free skin cancer screening in your area.
