Routine skin exams, including mole evaluations, are essential for detecting skin cancer early. During these appointments, our dermatologists carefully examine the skin for any unusual moles, spots, or growths that could be signs of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma.

Early detection improves treatment outcomes, making regular checkups an important part of maintaining your skin health. Monitoring changes in moles or spotting new growths can help catch issues early. If needed, we may recommend further testing or a biopsy to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.

Protecting your skin from cancer is key to maintaining long-term health and reducing the risk of melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. One of the most effective ways to lower your risk is by minimizing exposure to harmful UV rays. If you live in the Baton Rouge area and notice any unusual skin changes—such as itching, bleeding, irritation, or changes in size or color—it’s important to have them evaluated by a dermatologist. These symptoms may signal early skin cancer development. At Benson Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating various skin conditions, including skin cancer. Early detection and prompt treatment can greatly improve outcomes and provide peace of mind.
