Hello, my name is Dr. Whitaker. I'm a dermatologist.

What happens at a skin check?

A skin check is an exam in which a dermatologist looks closely at the skin, often from scalp to toes. It usually starts with questions about new or changing spots.

You usually change into a gown, and each area is checked, including the scalp, nails and between the toes. A bright light and a handheld magnifier give a closer view of moles. You can ask for a chaperone. If a spot looks unusual, a small skin sample, called a biopsy, may be suggested.

Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your dermatologist can tell you what applies to your own skin.

Thanks for watching.
