Skin Cancer Screening at The Piedmont Clinic
Fast, thorough mole checks and biopsies — because catching
skin cancer early can make all the difference.
Why Skin Cancer Screening Should Be on Your Radar
Here’s the truth: 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. Most people don’t think about it until it’s already visible — or worse, dangerous.
But the earlier it’s found?
The easier it is to treat.
The better the outcome.
And in many cases — the less invasive the fix.
At The Piedmont Clinic, we make skin cancer checks part of your normal care, not an afterthought.
What We’re Looking For
We’re trained to spot the warning signs that most people miss. During a screening, we check for:
Asymmetrical moles
Borders that are uneven
Color variation (black, red, white, or blue within the same mole)
Diameter larger than a pencil eraser
Evolving spots that change in shape, size, or feel
We also keep an eye out for:
New or changing growths
Sores that don’t heal
Itchy, bleeding, or crusty patches
Rough scaly areas, especially on sun-exposed skin
You don’t need to know what’s normal and what’s not. That’s our job. We’ll walk you through it, step by step.
What Happens During a Skin Check?
Relax — it’s quick, non-invasive, and handled with care.
Here’s what to expect:
Review of your medical and family history
Full-body visual inspection (we respect your privacy and comfort at all times)
Magnified check of suspicious moles or lesions
Optional photos for future comparison
If needed: a quick, in-office biopsy (takes minutes)
