What To Expect During a Skin Exam

A skin exam in Framingham, MA, with our provider, is a thorough evaluation of your skin to detect any abnormalities, including signs of skin cancer, infections, or other skin conditions. Here's what to expect during the appointment:

  • Medical History Review: The provider reviews your medical history, including previous skin issues, family history of skin conditions or skin cancer, and general health status.
  • Visual Inspection: You'll typically undress to your underwear and wear a gown. The provider will systematically examine your skin from head to toe, including your scalp, face, neck, chest, back, arms, legs, hands, feet, and other areas of concern.
  • Dermatoscope Use: For a closer look, especially at moles or lesions, the provider may use a dermatoscope—a handheld device that magnifies the skin and illuminates it for better visibility.
  • Questions and Observations: The provider might ask about changes you've noticed in your skin, such as new growths, moles, rashes, or persistent itchiness.
  • Biopsy or Tests: If the provider finds suspicious areas, they may perform a biopsy and take a small skin sample for laboratory analysis or other diagnostic tests.
  • Discussion and Advice: After the exam, the provider will discuss their findings, necessary follow-up actions, and skincare recommendations.
