What to Expect When You Visit a Dermatologist
A dermatologist will perform a thorough examination of your skin, noting any areas of concern. A dermatologist will be looking for large, irregular moles, moles that have changed in size, shape, or color, or moles that are new, bleeding, or oozing. The dermatologist may recommend taking a small sample of tissue or the entire mole and submitting it for a biopsy, to determine if cancerous cells are present.
