Why Annual Skin Cancer Screenings Could Save Your Life
posted: Jun. 05, 2025.
Skin cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S.—but it’s also one of the most preventable and treatable when detected early. At The Dermatology Group, P.A., with locations in Longwood, Mount Dora, Orlando, and Winter Park, FL, we urge everyone to make annual skin cancer screenings a regular part of their health routine.
Early Detection Is Key
When found early, skin cancer—especially melanoma—has an extremely high survival rate. A quick annual screening can catch changes before they become dangerous, giving you peace of mind and potentially saving your life.
Our board-certified dermatologists examine your skin from head to toe, focusing on areas often missed in self-checks like the scalp, back, and behind the ears. If anything looks suspicious, we take prompt steps to investigate further and provide treatment if necessary.
Who Should Schedule Annual Skin Exams?
Everyone can benefit from a yearly skin exam, but you may be at increased risk if you:
- Have a personal or family history of skin cancer
- Frequently spend time outdoors or use tanning beds
- Have fair skin, red or blonde hair, or light-colored eyes
- Notice new, changing, or irregular moles
- Have more than 50 moles or a history of severe sunburns
If you’re in Longwood, Mount Dora, Orlando, or Winter Park, FL, our team is here to help you take control of your skin health—one exam at a time.
