When to see a dermatologist about a skin change
As a dermatologist, I get a lot of questions about skin changes, what they mean and what to do about them.
Being aware of changes to your skin is important. In some cases, these skin changes could be skin cancers, including a particularly dangerous type of skin cancer called melanoma.
But, for many, it isn't always immediately obvious whether a skin change is harmless or cause for alarm.
That's why I'm sharing my advice on when to see a dermatologist about a skin change.
