Complete Skin Examination for Your Peace of Mind

A full body skin exam is one of the most important preventive measures you can take for your health. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and early detection dramatically improves outcomes. During your exam, our dermatologist systematically examines every area of your skin to identify potential concerns.

Living in sunny Miami means increased UV exposure year-round, making regular full body skin exams especially important for our community. We serve patients from Westchester, Coral Gables, Doral, Kendall, and throughout Miami-Dade County.

What We Check During Your Exam

Scalp & Hairline

Thorough examination of the scalp, often-missed areas where skin cancer can develop unnoticed.

Face, Ears & Neck

Detailed inspection of high sun-exposure areas most susceptible to skin cancer development.

Trunk & Back

Complete examination of chest, abdomen, and back — areas you can't easily self-examine.

Arms & Hands

Including nail beds and between fingers, checking for melanoma and other suspicious lesions.

Legs & Feet

Full inspection including soles, between toes, and toenails — common melanoma sites often overlooked.

Dermoscopy

Magnified examination of any suspicious moles or lesions using specialized dermoscopy equipment.

Why Annual Exams Matter

Research shows that dermatologist-performed skin exams detect skin cancers that patients miss on self-examination. Areas like your back, scalp, and behind your ears are difficult to check yourself. Annual professional exams complement monthly self-checks for the most comprehensive skin cancer prevention strategy.
