Skin Checks

Dr. Gunn is passionate about Medical Dermatology and making sure your skin is free and clear of any suspicious moles.

Before the skin exam, Dr. Gunn may ask if you have any concerns. Even if she doesn't ask, don't be shy. Point out any spots that worry you or changes you have noticed.

Dr. Gunn will then do a head-to-toe skin exam, making note of any spots that need monitoring or closer examination. Screenings typically include an exam of my scalp, face, mouth, hands, feet, trunk and extremities, eyes and eyelids, ears, fingers, toes and toenails.

Dr. Gunn may look at any unusual spots with a dermatoscope, which looks like a combination of a magnifying glass and flashlight. This allows your doctor to better examine moles that are hard to see with the naked eye.
