Skin Checks & Mole Evaluations

Skin Checks & Mole Evaluations in Fort Lauderdale

Whether you are scheduling a routine skin examination or have noticed a specific mole or spot that concerns you, a professional evaluation can provide clarity and help identify changes that deserve additional attention.

A Simple, Proactive Step for Your Skin Health

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.

What to Expect During Your Skin Check

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.

When Should a Mole or Spot Be Checked?

Consider scheduling an evaluation if you notice:

Know the ABCDEs of Changing Moles

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.

What Happens if We Find Something Concerning?

Finding an unusual spot does not automatically mean skin cancer. If an area warrants additional evaluation, your provider will explain what they are seeing and recommend the appropriate next step.

The office is very clean. Professional and courteous staff. I trust Dr. Chaplik to provide the very best care and have not been disappointed. As for stitches, in a matter of weeks I can’t tell where they were. I highly recommend Dr. Chaplik and Allison.
