What Is XPressCheck?
Concerned About a New or Suspicious Spot on Your Skin?
If you have noticed a new, changing, bleeding, painful, or unusual mole or skin lesion, having it evaluated promptly can provide peace of mind and help identify potential skin cancers earlier. Early detection can allow for more timely treatment and may lead to better medical and cosmetic outcomes.
At UDermic Health, we created XPressCheck to make it easier to have one specific concerning spot evaluated without waiting for a more comprehensive dermatology appointment.
XPressCheck
When Should You Have a Mole or Skin Lesion Checked?
Changes in a mole or spot on your skin can sometimes be an early sign of skin cancer. Consider scheduling an XPressCheck if you notice:
-
Irregular borders or an uneven shape
-
Uneven or multiple colors within the same mole
-
Changes in size, especially a spot growing larger than a pencil eraser
-
Bleeding, itching, tenderness, or pain
-
Changes in appearance over time
-
A sore that does not heal
-
Surface changes, such as scaling, crusting, a raised area, or oozing
-
Redness or new swelling extending beyond the border of the mole or lesion
-
Any new or changing spot that simply looks different from your other moles
Call UDermic Health or fill out this form and ask for an XPressCheck appointment for your suspicious mole or skin lesion.
XPressCheck is a focused clinic with short appointment slots dedicated specifically to examining one worrisome or suspicious mole, growth, or skin lesion. If your dermatology provider determines that the area needs further evaluation, a skin biopsy may be performed during your visit.
The goal is simple: to provide peace of mind when a spot is not concerning or timely diagnosis and treatment when additional care is needed.
Our goal is to schedule XPressCheck appointments within 72 business hours of your call or request, with same-day appointments offered when availability allows.
Because XPressCheck appointments are specifically designed to evaluate one concerning mole or lesion, other skin concerns require a more comprehensive visit. If you need evaluation for a rash, acne, psoriasis, multiple skin lesions, or another ongoing skin condition, our staff will be happy to schedule you for a full dermatology appointment with one of our providers.
Early Evaluation Matters
Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are two of the most common types of skin cancer. When suspicious skin lesions are evaluated and skin cancers are detected early, treatment may be more straightforward and can often provide better medical and cosmetic outcomes.
If there is one particular mole or lesion that has you concerned, you do not have to ignore it or wait weeks to have it examined.
