Skin cancer screening allows us to kind of do a thorough evaluation of your skin to see what's developing, whether that's a very natural growth or whether that's an abnormal growth. In Arizona we get so much sun exposure on a daily basis that over time obviously that accumulates.

The MA placed steri-straps on the wound to "keep
