Thank you for attending the KKTV & Vanguard Spot Check. You have received a form with a “Presumptive Diagnosis” based upon a visual examination of your skin.

This is more information on your presumptive diagnosis.

1. Seborrheic Keratosis. This is a benign growth. Treatment is not needed unless it causes pain or discomfort.
2. Actinic Keratosis. This is a precancerous growth. We recommend treatment with liquid nitrogen to prevent it from becoming a skin cancer in the future. More details are here.
3. Basal Cell Carcinoma. This is a skin cancer that is curable. Left untreated, this skin cancer can be destructive and can lead to death in rare circumstances. We recommend a biopsy in order to render a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. More details are here.
4. Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This is a skin cancer than can be very aggressive. Left untreated, this skin cancer can spread and lead to death. We recommend a biopsy in order to render a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. More details are here.
5. Dysplastic Nevus. This is an abnormal mole that may need to be surgically removed. We recommend a biopsy to render a definitive diagnosis and possible surgical treatment.
6. Congenital Nevus. This is a normal mole. If it grows, bleeds, or changes in color in the future, a biopsy may be necessary to determine if treatment is needed.
7. Melanoma. This is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, so please see your dermatologist right away. Left untreated, it could spread and lead to death. We recommend a biopsy in order to render a definitive diagnosis and treatment plan. More details are here.
8. Mole or Nevus. This is a benign growth. If it grows, bleeds, or changes in color in the future, a biopsy may be necessary to determine if treatment is needed.
9. No significant findings. We do not see anything that is concerning today. We recommend a total body skin exam with your doctor annually.
