Reliable skin cancer screening and treatment
Annual skin checks are a vital component of skin health and wellness. Based on recommendations from the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Dermatology, we recommend that everyone receives a skin cancer screening once a year. Your provider performs a thorough body scan during this exam, carefully examining your skin for any patches or spots that appear abnormal. Contact Forefront Dermatology in Atlanta as soon as possible if you notice any sudden changes in your skin, such as discoloration, redness, or itching.
Early detection is the best defense against skin cancer. Your Forefront dermatologist will screen for the first signs of precancerous or cancerous spots. If skin cancer is discovered, your provider will carefully discuss the next steps with you and outline your action plan. Our skincare specialists provide several therapeutic options for fighting skin cancer. These include cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT), scraping and burning, and standard excision.
