https://www.bahrdermatology.co... - More than a million people are diagnosed with skin cancer every year and it’s estimated that 1 in 5 Americans will be affected by some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. Although this statistic is scary, skin cancer mortality is rare and very preventable with early detection and testing. Skin cancer can affect people of all skin types and colors. Your risk of skin cancer is increased if you have a sibling, parent, or another family member who’s had melanoma. The earlier abnormalities are found, the better the cure rate is.<br><br>That’s why Bountiful Dermatologists perform professional skin exams, mole removal, and skin cancer tests in their office. Skin exams are the most effective way to detect abnormalities early. It’s recommended to receive a professional skin cancer test at least once a year. People with a family history of skin cancer or those who tend to develop moles often may require testing more frequently.
