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.

Color

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.
