Skin cancer screening is a thorough examination of your skin to detect early signs of skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. At Uplift Wellness & Aesthetics in Monteagle, Lindsay provides comprehensive skin cancer screenings using advanced diagnostic tools including digital dermoscopy to identify suspicious lesions and ensure early detection.
As a skilled medical professional serving the Cumberland Plateau community, Lindsay understands the importance of preventive care and early detection. Her thorough approach combines visual examination with advanced technology to provide the most accurate assessment of your skin health.
How often should I have skin cancer screening? Most people should have annual screenings, but those with high risk factors may need more frequent examinations. Lindsay will recommend a personalized screening schedule.
What should I expect during the screening? You'll undress to your underwear and Lindsay will systematically examine your entire body, including areas you can't easily see yourself, using magnification tools when needed.
Will I need a biopsy if something suspicious is found? Not all suspicious lesions require biopsy. Lindsay will determine if a biopsy is necessary based on the appearance and characteristics of any concerning areas.
How should I prepare for my screening? Remove nail polish, avoid self-tanning products, and come prepared to discuss any changes you've noticed in your skin or new symptoms.
