Dermatology whole body check

  • What is a full body scan like from dermatologist?

    A full body scan is a close visual examination of all of a patient's skin, from the scalp to the soles of the feet.
    It also typically involves looking at a patient's nails, since problems with nail growth can indicate underlying infections and lesions can develop beneath the nails themselves..

A dermatologist will check your skin from head to toe, making note of any spots that need monitoring or further treatment. Many dermatologists will use a lighted magnifier called a dermatoscope to view moles and spots closely.
Also known as a skin cancer screening, a whole-body skin check is when a dermatologist checks your skin from head to toe for any signs of skin cancer. These signs can include moles, areas of discolouration, growths, or other blemishes.
