Free Skin Cancer Screenings with Dermatology Specialists

May is recognized as Skin Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to spreading awareness and education about a disease that one in five Americans will develop in their lifetime. When caught and treated early, skin cancer is highly curable. Early detection is key, which is why Dermatology Specialists is offering free skin cancer screenings throughout the month of May. Skin cancer can generally be divided into two types—non-melanoma (including basal and squamous cell carcinomas) and melanoma, with melanoma being the least common and most aggressive. There are many effective treatments for eliminating skin cancer. Which treatment option is best depends on a variety of factors including type of skin cancer, location, size, and features noted in the biopsy specimen results. Dermatology Specialists will be offering free screenings for skin cancer at select locations throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi in the hopes of helping community members keep their skin healthy and catch skin cancer early. *Free screenings are available at select Dermatology Specialists locations during the month of May to anyone 18 years or older who has not had a professional skin exam within the last 12 months.
