Screen Early for the Peace of Mind You Need

Melanoma affects millions of Americans every year, making it the most common form of cancer. It’s also the deadliest, which means early detection can significantly increase your survival rate should you get a skin cancer diagnosis.

At Chicago Skin Clinic, Dr. Danny Del Campo and Dr. Danilo Del Campo are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. They also use the latest diagnostic tools to give you accurate, timely treatment recommendations and the compassionate, patient-centered care you need.

Your Skin Cancer Screening: What It Is & How It Works

At Chicago Skin Clinic, your skin cancer screening will be a simple, non-invasive full body skin exam to identify any signs of skin cancer or precancerous lesions.

We’ll visually inspect your skin — including areas that aren’t typically exposed to the sun — and carefully examine moles, freckles, birthmarks, and any other skin abnormalities to check for any suspicious features.

Dr. Danny Del Campo and Dr. Danilo Del Campo will utilize their expertise and experience and follow a step-by-step approach — to conduct a thorough, comprehensive screening of your skin, which will include:

Medical history assessment: Our board-certified dermatologists will review your medical history, including any previous skin cancer diagnoses, family history of skin cancer, or personal risk factors that may increase your susceptibility to skin cancer.

Visual examination: Dr. Danny Del Campo and Dr. Danilo Del Campo will visually inspect your skin from head to toe, including areas such as your scalp, face, neck, torso, arms, legs, palms, and soles — and even your fingernails and toenails. They’ll carefully examine any moles, spots, or lesions they discover for signs of skin cancer.
Dermoscopy: Dermoscopy is a specialized technique that allows our dermatologists to examine skin lesions under magnification. This enhances their ability to assess the characteristics of moles or lesions and differentiate between benign and potentially malignant ones.
Biopsy: If our dermatologists identify any suspicious lesions or abnormalities during the visual examination or dermoscopy, they may recommend a biopsy. A biopsy involves the removal of a small sample of the suspicious tissue for further examination in a laboratory.
