Overview

Skin Cancer Screening

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the India. Fortunately, when detected early, skin cancer is highly treatable. At Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic, we prioritize preventive care and offer comprehensive skin cancer screenings to help you safeguard your skin health.

Why Skin Cancer Screening is Important?

Skin cancer develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the skin’s outer layers. The three most common types are:

  • Basal cell carcinoma: The slowest-growing type, usually appearing as pearly or waxy bumps.
  • Squamous cell carcinoma: Grows more rapidly than basal cell carcinoma, often appearing as red, scaly patches.
  • Melanoma: The most aggressive form of skin cancer, appearing as an irregular mole with Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color variation, Diameter greater than 6 millimeters, and Evolution in size or shape (the ABCDE rule of melanoma).

Early detection is crucial for successful skin cancer treatment. Regular skin cancer screenings allow Dr. Rai to identify suspicious lesions in their early stages, significantly increasing the chances of effective treatment and positive outcomes.

What to Expect During a Skin Cancer Screening at Dr. Rai’s Skin Clinic:

  • Detailed Consultation: Dr. Rai will discuss your medical history, family history of skin cancer, and any skin concerns you may have.
  • Full-Body Skin Examination: Dr. Rai will meticulously examine your entire skin surface, including your scalp, ears, armpits, genitals, and between your toes.
  • Dermatoscopy: A specialized tool may be used to magnify and examine suspicious moles or lesions in greater detail.
  • Biopsy (if necessary): If a concerning lesion is detected, a small tissue sample may be taken for further analysis under a microscope.

Benefits of Regular Skin Cancer Screenings:

  • Early detection: Early identification of skin cancer increases the likelihood of successful treatment and minimizes the risk of complications.
  • Peace of mind: Regular screenings provide peace of mind knowing your skin health is being monitored by a qualified dermatologist.
  • Reduced risk of advanced stages: Early detection allows for less invasive and more effective treatment options.
  • Improved treatment outcomes: Early-stage skin cancer has a significantly higher cure rate compared to advanced stages.

Who Should Get Skin Cancer Screenings?

Everyone, regardless of age or skin type, should have regular skin cancer screenings. However, certain individuals are at a higher risk and may benefit from more frequent screenings, including:

  • Individuals with fair skin, blonde or red hair, and blue or green eyes
  • People with a history of sunburn or significant sun exposure
  • Those with a family history of skin cancer
  • Individuals with numerous moles (more than 50) or atypical moles

I had consulted Dr.Abhijna Rai at Dr Rai's skin and hair clinic. Dr.Rai is very professional, calm and must say, has lots of patience. She listens intently about the issue and situation. The treatment worked and there is drastic improvement in my skin issues. Compared to previous doctors, she did not put me through multiple treatments and seems to genuinely care for the patients. The clinic also has ample parking space in the basement which is very convenient. Thank you doctor and I would strongly recommend you to all my friends and family for any skin & hair related issues.
