My family practice doctors always did skin cancer exams. I've been lucky in 25 years only had two spots removed. It was simple and fast. But this year he suggested a dermatologist because they have a special scope.

In searching for the latest in skin cancer screening I found this article about the pros and cons:

Now I'm wondering how necessary it is for me to get a detailed screening if I don't have any real suspicious spots on my skin.

What do you do for skin cancer screening?
