Do you have a concerning spot or new mole? KKTV and Vanguard Skin Specialists have partnered to offer FREE Spot Check event.
Friday, June 21, 3-6PM
Vanguard Briargate Office at 9348 Grand Cordera Pkwy, Ste 160,80924
What is the Skin Cancer Spot Check?
We encourage you to examine yourself for any new or changing moles. If you have a suspicious spot, get it checked out. The dermatologists and dermatology APPs at Vanguard Skin Specialists will be available to examine your concerning spots, new moles, and changing moles.
This is a spot check event; this is NOT a full body skin cancer screening. We will check spots you are concerned about, and areas that are easily viewable and accessible while you are fully clothed.
What is the process?
Simply show up, and you will be directed to a room with a medical provider. You will be asked to fill out basic demographic information and a waiver.
You will receive a presumptive diagnosis on what the spot could be and a recommendation on whether you need further evaluation.
What is not included?
If you have a spot that appears atypical or malignant, the dermatology provider will recommend a biopsy. A biopsy is a diagnostic procedure to confirm what type of growth you have. The biopsy and/or recommended follow up with a dermatologist is your responsibility. A list of board certified dermatologists is available at aad.org.
What should I wear?
If the spot is on your face, please do not wear makeup. Wear clothing that makes it easy for the dermatology provider to see the spot(s) you are concerned about.
Will I be on TV?
The KKTV news crew will be on site, so your image or video may appear on KKTV. KKTV will not film patient examinations or release patient information without your consent. KKTV will not have access to your medical record.
Does this replace my regular dermatology visit?
No, the Spot Check is not a substitute for a thorough full body skin exam or medical visit. Many skin cancers can be detected only from a thorough skin exam, and all adults should see their doctor annually for a skin cancer screening exam.
What if I have a concerning spot that needs follow up?
You may follow up with your regular dermatologist or any dermatologist in the area. You may find a list of dermatologists at www.aad.org. You are not required to follow up with us.
