🩺 What to Expect at a Skin Exam

Skin checks are quick, simple — and can truly save lives. Here’s what happens at your visit:

✨ We review your history - Personal & family history of skin cancer, tanning exposure, changing spots, or areas of concern.

✨ Full-body exam - We examine your skin from head to toe (yes, scalp included). You’ll change into a gown, and we keep you appropriately draped for comfort.

✨ We check moles & other lesions closely - Using a dermatoscope, we evaluate any concerning lesions for asymmetry, border changes, color variation, or growth.

✨ Biopsy if needed - if something looks suspicious, we may numb the area and take a small sample. It’s quick and typically very well tolerated.

✨ Prevention guidance - We review sunscreen habits, self-skin exams, and how often you should return.

⏱ Most exams take about 15–20 minutes.📅 Annual skin checks are recommended for most adults — sooner if you notice a changing spot.

If you’ve been putting it off, consider this your reminder 💙Your skin is worth it.

Here in North Dakota, hand dermatitis is incredibly common right now.

❄️ Cold weather
🧼 Frequent handwashing
🧴 Harsh sanitizers

All of these can damage the skin barrier and cause painful, burning, cracked hands.

We can help your hands heal 🤍

Hand dermatitis is very treatable with the right diagnosis and prescription therapy when needed.

No months long waiting for appointments

☀️Did you know skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US.

☀️ When should you start full-body skin exams?
Sooner than most people think.
—many concerning spots appear in places you can’t easily see yourself.

⚠️ You may need earlier exams with:
• Tanning bed use
• Severe sunburns
• Fair skin or many moles
• Family or personal history of skin cancer

Bright Tip ✨

Not all skin exams are the same.
Seeing a provider trained in Dermatology can make all the difference in catching skin cancer early.

📞 Call to schedule your full-body skin exam.
