Skin Cancer Screening

Over the past few years, a dermatologist has removed numerous skin cancers from my dear father’s face, ears, and back. Because I have a fair complexion like my father does, I visited a dermatologist a while back. I wanted to ensure my skin was healthy. My dermatologist carefully examined my face, arms, and hands.
