Anyone ever had a skin screen from the dermatologist? What do they do?!


Question: You change into a paper gown and they examine every "spot" that appears on your body. Some of them that may concern them, they map on a picture chart in your record. On your first visit, it is usually only examining every inch of your skin.

They make you take your beautiful clothes off and have you put on a teeny tiny napkin that tears every time you breathe. Then they look carefully at your skin -- every inch of it -- searching for bad places. They have the nurse make note of every last freckle. Then they tell you to stay away from the sunshine because it's bad and will fry you to a crisp in less than 30 seconds. Then they'll give you a sample of the most expensive sunscreen you've ever held in your hot little hands, wish you well, and charge you $200 for the fun afternoon. Have fun!

A skin screening involves checking your entire body for moles and mole-like growths. You have to get down to your undies, then you lay down and they check the entire body. My gf had one and the screening found three growths. They were cut-out immediately and sent to a lab. 3 weeks later, they were returned, and she was called with results. The cuts took awhile to heal, but she is free of suspicious growths now.

Healthy skin care for skin problems is part of overall good health. Proper skincare treatments are essential in preventing skin damage and premature skin aging.check out http://tipsfromruby-skincare.blogspot.co...
