Your skin changes over time. Most changes are harmless, but some new or evolving spots deserve a closer look.
Aesthetix Dermatology provides evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options for common skin cancers and precancerous lesions, with the goal of creating a treatment plan that is both medically appropriate and carefully considered.
Discuss Your Concerns
Tell us about new spots, changes you have noticed and any relevant personal or family history.
Examine Your Skin
Your provider will examine areas of concern and, when appropriate, perform a broader skin evaluation.
Evaluate Moles & Lesions
Moles, growths and other skin findings can be assessed for features that may require closer monitoring.
Discuss Next Steps
If something requires additional evaluation, your provider will explain the recommended next step.
Consider scheduling an evaluation if you notice:
The ABCDE framework is one tool commonly used when looking for changes that may deserve professional evaluation.
Asymmetry
One half of the mole looks different from the other.
Border
The edges appear irregular, uneven or poorly defined.
Color
Multiple colors or noticeable changes in color are present.
Diameter
The spot is larger than expected or continues to increase in size.
Evolving
The mole changes in size, shape, color, texture or symptoms over time.
Not every unusual mole is skin cancer, and skin cancers do not always follow these exact patterns. If you are concerned about a spot, professional evaluation is the safest next step.
