Skin Cancer Check
Check Your Skin For Change
The abnormal development of skin cells is known as skin cancer, usually from prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Skin cancer can also develop on parts of your skin that are not normally exposed to the sun. Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma are the three most common kinds of skin cancer.
Skin cancer check is done by our dermatologist using a dermascope. A dermascope is a special magnifying glass with light specially made to check the skin. The dermatologist will go through the full body to check for benign (not harmful) and malignant (cancer) tumors. A skin check will take around 30-60 minutes.
Lesion Removal
The dermatologist can offer to remove lesions from different parts of the body. Before removing any lesion, the dermatologist will let you know the advantages and disadvantages and if there are any complications. She will also go through the recovery time and price. The price depends on the method used.

Biopsies are done to make sure if a tumor is benign (not harmful) or malignant (cancer). All samples from biopsies are sent to a lab for testing.
