What To Expect
- Before the exam begins, you’ll remove your clothes and put on a medical gown.
- During the exam, your medical provider will check over each portion of your skin from head-to-toe; making notes of moles, growths, or birthmarks.
- If there’s a growth that appears abnormal, she may recommend removal of the lesion.
- Body exams are relatively short ranging anywhere from 10-20 minutes.
- This exam is recommended annually.
We recommend a self-examination of your skin every month so you can find any unusual growths.
The best time to do a self-exam is after a shower when you are fully unclothed with clean skin.
Check your entire body, including in between your fingers, toes, and around your hairline.
Make note of abnormalities and discuss any concerns with your medical provider during your next visit.
About Full Body Skin Exam San Antonio, TX
At Magnolia Medical & Aesthetics, our medically licensed professionals prioritize your skin health. Your provider will examine your entire body for irregular moles, warts, dry patches, skin tags, and rashes. During your exam we will check the difficult to reach areas of your body that cannot be self-monitored such as behind your ears and your scalp. If areas of concern are present, your provider may biopsy one or more suspicious spots. This usually means removing part, or all, of the lesion and sending it to a lab for analysis. If the report comes back cancerous, your provider will contact you and explain the type of skin cancer and next steps for treatment.
