PROTECT YOUR SKIN
Screening, Education, and Treatment Guidance
UDermic Health helps patients understand risk factors, monitor changing spots, and take the next step when evaluation or treatment is needed.
What Is a Skin Cancer Screening?
Regular skin cancer screenings are an important part of protecting your skin and identifying suspicious changes as early as possible. Skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body, including areas that receive little sun exposure, and some skin cancers may be difficult to recognize without a professional examination.
​
At UDermic Health, our physician-led dermatology team provides comprehensive skin cancer screenings and full-body skin exams for patients in Evans, Augusta, and throughout the CSRA.
Â
Whether you have a concerning spot, a history of significant sun exposure, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or simply want to be proactive about your skin health, our team is here to help.
​
UDermic Health is always accepting new patients for skin checks and dermatologic care.
Who Should Get a Skin Cancer Screening?
Anyone can develop skin cancer, regardless of age or skin tone. However, certain factors may increase your risk.
​
You may benefit from regular skin examinations if you:
-
Have a personal history of skin cancer
-
Have a family history of melanoma or other skin cancers
-
Have numerous or atypical moles
-
Have fair skin or a tendency to burn easily
-
Have experienced frequent or severe sunburns
-
Spend significant amounts of time outdoors
-
Have a history of indoor tanning
-
Have a weakened immune system
-
Notice a new or changing mole, growth, or spot
-
Have a sore that does not heal or repeatedly bleeds
-
​
Your dermatologist can help determine how frequently you should have your skin examined based on your individual history and risk factors.
Early Detection Matters
The three major types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
​
Many skin cancers are highly treatable when identified early. Regular professional skin examinations can help detect suspicious areas before they become more advanced or difficult to treat.
​
At UDermic Health, skin cancer care extends beyond screening. If a suspicious area is identified, our team can help coordinate the next steps in your care.
UDermic Health provides comprehensive skin cancer services designed to keep your care connected from screening through diagnosis and treatment.

If it has been a while since your last skin check, or if you have never had one, now is a good time to establish a routine for monitoring your skin.

Skin Cancer Screening in Evans, GA
A skin cancer screening is a visual examination of your skin to look for moles, growths, lesions, or other areas that may show signs of skin cancer.
​
During a full-body skin exam, your provider carefully evaluates your skin for suspicious or changing areas. Particular attention may be given to moles or lesions that have unusual colors, shapes, borders, sizes, or other characteristics.
​
If an area appears concerning, your provider may recommend additional evaluation or a skin biopsy to determine whether abnormal or cancerous cells are present.
What Should I Look for Between Skin Checks?
Knowing what is normal for your skin can make it easier to recognize changes.
​
Pay attention to spots that are new, changing, itching, bleeding, painful, or not healing. Changes in an existing mole's size, shape, border, or color should also be evaluated.
​
For moles, the ABCDE method can help identify changes that deserve attention:
A – Asymmetry: One half looks different from the other.
B – Border: The edges are irregular, blurred, or poorly defined.
C – Color: The spot contains multiple colors or has changed in color.
D – Diameter: The spot is growing or is larger than expected.
E – Evolving: The mole or lesion is changing in size, shape, color, or appearance.
​
Not every skin cancer follows these signs. If something on your skin looks unusual or simply concerns you, having it evaluated is the safest approach.
