How often do I need to schedule a skin cancer screening?

Many patients benefit from annual skin exams, though those with higher risk factors may require more frequent screenings. At Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, we encourage patients to become familiar with their skin and schedule skin checks or skin cancer screenings in Deerfield Beach whenever they notice new or changing spots. Even subtle changes in color, texture, or shape can be important warning signs worth examining.

Will you remove any moles that you find?

If a mole or lesion appears suspicious, your dermatologist may recommend monitoring, biopsy, or removal depending on the findings. We offer Mohs surgery at our practice.

Are screenings covered by insurance?

Many skin cancer screenings are covered by insurance when considered medically necessary, though coverage varies by provider and plan.

Expert Skin Cancer Guidance

Do You Need to Schedule a Screening?

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, but it is also one of the most treatable when caught early. Routine skin exams can help identify suspicious lesions before they become more advanced or difficult to treat. They are especially important if you notice unusual moles or growths on your skin. While most growths are probably benign these are some signs you should schedule a screening right away:

What It Treats:

Asymmetry
Ragged, notched, or blurred edges
Larger than 1/4 inch (about the size of a pencil eraser)
Changing in size, shape, color
Symptoms like itching/bleeding

"I had such a great experience with Dr Jason Green and his staff...."

- Tina D.

I had such a great experience with Dr Jason Green and his staff. When I arrived, the front desk staff was so kind and welcoming, which immediately helped ease my nerves. I filled out some paperwork and sat for 5 minutes waiting for my appointment. I was a little anxious since this was my first time getting Botox, but they made the check-in process smooth and simple. When I met Dr. Jason Green, he took the time to talk me through everything, asking about my concerns and what kind of results I was hoping for. He explained the process in a way that made me feel completely at ease, and I never felt rushed. During the treatment, he was incredibly gentle and precise, and to my surprise, it was quick and nearly painless. Afterward, his staff gave me clear aftercare instructions and made sure I didn’t have any lingering questions. I left feeling confident and excited about my results, which turned out even better than I expected—natural and exactly what I wanted. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, and I really appreciated the professionalism and warmth of Dr. Green and his team. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality care!

5 🌟 !!! Let me start by saying Dr. Green is fantastic! He made my son and I feel comfortable as soon as we met him. He explained all my options and discussed in full what the best plan was to remove my sons cluster wart. Even though this was my sons first appointment he was able to remove the wart. My son was comfortable during the wart removal process. The office was beautiful and clean. The front office staff and medical assistants were very friendly and knowledgeable. When I called to book this appointment I was pleasantly surprised I could get an appointment so soon. Overall we had a great experience and I will be recommending Dr. Green and this office to everyone. Thank you!

I've been going to see Dr Green at Green Dermatology for several years. His staff is top notch and quite professional. The office is very modern and exceptionally clean as opposed to some other's I have been to in the past. Dr Green is extremely knowledgeable, he quickly identified the skin condition I was experiencing and had an action plan ready. They sent over all the prescriptions to my pharmacy digitally and they were ready by the time i got there. These days it is hard to find good doctors who actually take the time and care about their patients. Dr Green does!! I highly recommend him and his staff.

- Tom K.

I was traveling and I came down with a vicious contact allergy which caused the worst (near) full body rash of my life. Green Dermatology was geographically convenient from my hotel and they saw me immediately. There was ample parking available. When I arrived, the waiting room was immaculate and I was warmly greeted by the front staff. They acknowledged my visible worry and discomfort with warmth and compassion. When I saw Dr. Green, he was patient when listening and, by his careful questioning, I could tell he was smart and a thoughtful diagnostician. He wrote me a script for a 5-day course of meds, which turned out to be the perfect duration to completely clear up my rash. From beginning to end, the appointment could not have been more perfect. I'm so grateful.
