Learn about Screening Frequency

The frequency of skin cancer screenings depends on various factors such as your personal and family history of skin cancer, your skin type, and any risk factors you may have. As a general guideline:

  • If you have no history of skin cancer and no significant risk factors such as a family history of melanoma or numerous moles, you might consider getting a skin cancer screening once every one to three years depending on what your board-certified dermatologist recommends.

  • If you have a family history of skin cancer, numerous moles, or a history of significant sun exposure, you might consider more frequent screenings, perhaps annually or as recommended by your board-certified dermatologist.

  • If you have had skin cancer before, especially melanoma, or if you have other risk factors such as a weakened immune system or a history of indoor tanning, you should have more frequent screenings, potentially every six to twelve months at the discretion of your board-certified dermatologist.

However, it's important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist who can assess your individual risk factors and provide personalized recommendations for screening frequency. Additionally, it's always a good idea to perform regular self-examinations of your skin and to see a board-certified dermatologist promptly if you notice any changes or abnormalities.

Types of Skin Cancer

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is another common type of skin cancer that originates from basal cells, which are found in the lower part of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin. It's the most common type of skin cancer, typically occurring on areas of the body that are exposed to the sun…

Melanoma

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of your skin. Melanoma can also occur in other parts of the body where melanocytes are found, such as the eyes (ocular melanoma) and mucous membranes…

    –Tricia Conner

  • From the moment I met Dr. Baroudi and her staff, I was totally convinced I was in comfortable and professional care. Dr. Baroudi is very aware of her patients and their needs. If I were to need a procedure done, she explained why and how before the procedure even begins. I appreciated Dr. Baroudi personally calling me with results so I wouldn't worry over the weekend. Being with Dr. Baroudi is like being with a family doctor from years ago. She listens, she cares and she spends as much time with you that is needed. I highly recommend Dr. Bernice Baroudi as a dermatologist. Dr. Baroudi is a wonderful medical asset to our community!!

  • I live in Denver and often visit my parents in Port Charlotte. I met doctor Bernice Baroudi last summer when I was with my father who was being treated for a severe skin disorder (bullous pemphigoid - raised skin blisters and itching). The way she cared for my dad, and listened to what he was telling her was so touching; not to mention, she had relieved his itching which was scary and effecting the quality of his daily life. This summer (yesterday) I came with my father for his regular follow up and asked if she could look at a spot on my arm. She treated it as well as gave me several solutions for simple concerns that have appeared on my skin as an active 52 year old woman who enjoys time outside...
