What is an annual wellness skin check?
An annual wellness skin check is a preventive exam that keeps your skin healthy and identifies potential problems early. During this visit, your CSC Steil Dermatology provider carefully examines your skin from head to toe, looking for new growths, changes in moles, or any unusual spots.
It’s one of the simplest ways to protect your skin and catch conditions before they become serious.
Why is an annual wellness skin check so important?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ, constantly exposed to sunlight and environmental stressors that can lead to damage and increase your risk of skin cancer. That’s why the CSC Steil Dermatology team emphasizes the importance of getting a yearly skin check.
The appointment allows your dermatologist to spot even small changes and detect early signs of melanoma, which is highly treatable when identified promptly.
What issues can an annual wellness skin check find?
A comprehensive skin exam can reveal many conditions, including:
- Suspicious moles or lesions that may indicate early skin cancer
- Precancerous spots caused by sun exposure
- Signs of sun damage, aging, or irritation
- Common skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, warts, or acne
- Infections, rashes, or unusual pigmentation changes
Treatment can begin sooner when your doctor identifies concerns early, often leading to better outcomes and less invasive procedures and care.
What can I expect during an annual wellness skin check?
During your appointment, your dermatologist reviews your medical history and asks about any skin changes or concerns you’ve noticed.
Next, you wear a medical gown, and your provider examines your skin from the scalp to the feet, paying close attention to areas that often go unnoticed, such as the back, ears, and scalp.
If they find a suspicious spot, they can perform a small biopsy for further testing. The process is gentle, thorough, and typically completed in 15–30 minutes.
Whether you’ve never had a skin check or if it’s been a while since your last appointment, it’s time to protect your skin and long-term health.
