A skin cancer screening is a visual exam of the skin by a clinician, often a dermatologist, to look for spots that could be skin cancer. The clinician checks the size, shape, color, and texture of moles and other marks across the body. Skin cancer is highly treatable when it is found early.
During a skin cancer check, the clinician examines the skin from head to toe, including spots that are hard to see without help. After you change into a gown, you can expect the clinician to:
The exam itself is painless and usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
The American Academy of Dermatology uses the ABCDE rule to flag moles that warrant a professional look:
Other warning signs include any new growth, a sore that does not heal, or a spot that itches or bleeds. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends having anything that fits these signs checked by a clinician.
The cost of a skin cancer screening without insurance varies by location, provider, and whether the screening is a standalone visit or part of a larger dermatology appointment. A biopsy or removal, if needed, is billed separately from the exam. Because there is no single set price, the provider's office can confirm its self-pay rate, and Zocdoc lets users compare options and pricing at the time of booking. Many providers note whether they accept self-pay on their profiles.
The right dermatologist will examine your skin thoroughly, explain what they find, and handle a biopsy or follow-up if needed. Use Zocdoc to find a dermatologist near you for a skin cancer screening and book a visit based on your insurance and availability.
