South Florida’s sunny climate is one of the reasons many people choose to live in Palm Beach Gardens, but it also increases the risk of sun damage and skin cancer. Regular skin cancer screenings with a dermatologist are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health. Mandel Dermatology now offers comprehensive skin exams and mole evaluations at our Palm Beach Gardens office.

Why Palm Beach Gardens Residents Are at Higher Risk

Frequent sun exposure, outdoor activities, and minimal cold weather mean your skin is exposed to UV radiation most of the year. Over time, this can lead to:

• Actinic keratoses (precancerous lesions).
• Basal cell carcinoma.
• Squamous cell carcinoma.
• Melanoma.

Even small changes in a mole or persistent new spots should be evaluated by a dermatologist, especially in regions like Palm Beach Gardens where UV exposure is high.

What Happens During a Skin Cancer Screening?

During a skin cancer screening at Mandel Dermatology, our dermatologists:

• Review your medical and sun exposure history.
• Examine your skin from head to toe, including scalp, nails, and soles.
• Evaluate moles and lesions using clinical tools.
• Discuss any areas of concern and next steps if needed.

If a spot looks suspicious, we may recommend a biopsy or close monitoring. Our goal is to catch potential problems early, when treatment is most effective.

Ongoing Skin Health Beyond One Screening

Skin cancer screenings are most effective when they’re part of a long-term plan. Your dermatologist will recommend how often you should return for exams based on:

• Your personal and family history of skin cancer.
• Amount of past sunburns or tanning bed use.
• Number and type of moles on your skin.
• Other risk factors, such as fair skin or immune system issues.

Mandel Dermatology provides ongoing medical dermatology care, helping you manage sun damage and monitor any changes over time. You can learn more about our medical services on our Medical Dermatology page.
