What is a full-body skin check?

A full-body skin check is a head-to-toe examination of your skin. The expert dermatological team at Knight Dermatology Institute: A Forefront Dermatology Practice conducts your full-body skin check. The goal is to identify unusual growths, moles, or spots that could signify skin cancer.

A team member shows you to a private room where you undress to your level of comfort and put on a gown. You’ll lie back on the table and get into a comfortable position.

During the exam, your dermatologist thoroughly checks your skin, from the top of your scalp to between and underneath your toes. A dermatoscope (a hand-held magnifying device with a light) helps them look closely at any suspicious or concerning moles or lesions.

It's a routine checkup for your body’s largest organ — your skin. The whole process is quick, noninvasive, and could save your life.

What are the benefits of having a full-body skin check?

A full-body skin check is a simple and proactive way to safeguard your long-term health. It offers vital benefits, including:

Monitoring changes in your skin: Your skin is always shedding cells and changing. Your dermatologist helps you understand what’s normal and which changes to keep an eye on.
Early skin cancer detection: The earlier you discover something abnormal, such as a dark mole or new growth, when they’re most treatable, the better your chances for complete healing.
Personal skincare advice: The expert dermatological team assesses your skin and offers guidance on daily care to minimize your risk factors.

Perhaps the best benefit is the peace of mind after you’ve had your full-body skin check and learn that everything looks good, or you have a treatment plan for any skin concerns that your dermatologist discovers.

How often do I need a full-body skin check?

The team recommends a full-body skin check once a year unless you’ve had skin cancer before. If that’s the case, or if you have other risk factors to consider, they’ll want to see you quarterly or biannually to monitor the affected area.
