What Is A Skin Cancer Screening?
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer by the time they reach 70 years old. This statistic highlights the importance of regular skin exams, especially for individuals who have a history of skin cancer in their family or their own life. Detecting skin cancer early is essential to give you more treatment options and improved results. In addition to many innovative skin cancer treatments, Pure Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics provides comprehensive skin cancer screenings, as well as biopsies of abnormal growths. Schedule your next skin cancer screening by reaching out to our Orlando, FL dermatology practice.
What Can I Expect During My Skin Cancer Screening?
During your skin exam, we'll check your skin for birthmarks, moles, lesions, and any other areas of concern. If we find any abnormalities, we might recommend a biopsy, which involves numbing the area and cutting out a small sample for evaluation at a pathology lab. Once we have the findings of your biopsy, we'll reach out to discuss the next steps.
To ensure your skin's health is protected, we recommend scheduling a skin cancer screening with our Orlando, FL dermatologists once a year, performing self-exams at home between appointments. If you've never done a self-exam, our team can show you what to look for.

Skin Cancer Screenings Reviews
Today I had a complete skin checkup and I had a very good impression. It is a beautiful and clean place. The care was excellent and efficient, both the nurse and the Doctor treated me with great kindness and explained everything to me perfectly. 100% recommended.
The staff & Doctor at Pure Skin were wonderful. I was concerned about skin cancer & were extremely thorough and compassionate. I had a few biopsies & they made me feel comforted. I look forward to having healthier & more beautiful skin as I continue treatments at Pure Skin.
Dr. Grayman, does my skin checks for skin cancer. She is most thorough! And her staff is most professional as well. 😊
Dr. Debra L. Grayman is a professional and carrying a human being. I have been at my dermatologies offices, and never another doctor has done such a thorough exam. I suffer from skin cancer in the past, and I need an evaluation every six months. Dr. Grayman is the only one that checks every inch, looking for any anomaly on my skin. I 100% recommend her.
Went for my annual check up, this place was aesthetically pleasing. Super cute and welcoming vibes. I was late about 7 minutes gracious they didn't cancel the appointment on me. I usually go for my annual skin exam. As a new client no issues service was great the doctor was great. They are very thorough.
