Can any dermatologist do a skin cancer screening?

never had one before, can i just go to any derm?Can any dermatologist do a skin cancer screening?
YES. You also can do one yourself in front of a full-length mirror...anything you see that you even THINK is suspicious should be reported to your dermatologist who will check it out and let you know.

A dermatologist is a specialist in diseases of the skin and that includes skin cancer. You need to check with your insurance provider because some insurances need a referral from your family doctor before they will pay for this. Then, by all means - make an appointment.
