Skin Cancer Screenings in Corpus Christi, TX
Early Detection. Lifesaving Results.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, with 1 in 5 Americans developing it in their lifetime. While that may sound alarming, the good news is that early detection through regular skin exams can dramatically improve outcomes—and even save lives.
At Padre Dermatology, Dr. Ryan Rogers provides comprehensive full-body skin cancer screenings to help you catch concerns early and stay ahead of your skin health.
Types of Skin Cancer We Screen For
Skin cancer can appear in many forms, some more dangerous than others. During your visit, Dr. Rogers will carefully examine your skin for signs of:
-
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – Most common and slow-growing
-
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – Can spread if left untreated
-
Actinic Keratoses (AK) – Precancerous lesions often caused by sun damage
-
Melanoma – The most dangerous form, but highly treatable when caught early
What to Expect During Your Screening
Skin cancer screenings are:
-
Quick (usually 10–20 minutes)
-
Completely non-invasive
-
Painless
-
Full-body – including scalp, torso, arms, legs, feet, and between toes
Dr. Rogers will inspect your skin for any abnormal moles, lesions, or spots that could indicate early skin cancer. If anything looks suspicious, he may photograph the lesion for monitoring or recommend a biopsy to be sent to a pathologist for further evaluation. Biopsy results typically return within 7–10 business days.
Who Should Get Screened?
Everyone—regardless of age, skin tone, or lifestyle—should have an annual skin cancer screening. You may need more frequent checks if you have any of the following risk factors:
-
History of excessive sun exposure or sunburns
-
Use of tanning beds
-
Fair skin or light-colored eyes
-
Multiple or atypical moles
-
Family history of skin cancer
-
Weakened immune system or history of radiation
-
Previous diagnosis of skin cancer
If you notice a new mole, or changes in a preexisting mole, don’t wait—schedule a screening right away.
