Frequently asked questions

Skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma, is among the most common cancers worldwide. Understanding your risk factors can significantly improve prevention, early detection, and treatment outcomes. At Elkhorn Dermatology, we emphasize patient education to empower proactive care. Early detection leads to less-invasive treatments, better survival rates, reduced emotional stress, and preserved functionality in critical areas like the face and hands. By addressing risk factors, improving follow-up care, and adopting preventative measures (e.g., reducing UV exposure), you can lower recurrence rates and avoid complex treatments like chemotherapy. Early intervention also minimizes medical costs and hospital stays. Our personalized, patient-focused approach ensures better skin health, enhanced treatment success, and improved quality of life.

  1. Full Body Digital Skin Exam: This proactive monitoring program is designed to assess and track the health of your skin from head to toe on a yearly basis. The exam focuses on identifying and evaluating a wide range of key skin conditions, including skin cancer, precancerous lesions, and other abnormalities, such as atypical moles, sun damage, or chronic skin disorders. During the exam, we conduct a thorough examination of your skin, utilizing advanced diagnostic tools like a dermoscope, which provides a magnified and detailed view of the skin’s structure. Besides skin cancer, the Annual Full Body Skin Exam can also identify a variety of other skin conditions that may require attention or treatment. These conditions can include actinic keratosis, seborrheic keratosis, acne and acne scarring, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, dermatitis, and benign tumors.
  1. Sequential Digital Mole Mapping: This is an advanced diagnostic monitoring program that uses high-resolution microscopic total body photography to capture detailed images of moles and other skin features. Over time, these baseline images are compared to images taken during follow-up appointments to identify any changes—such as new growth, color alteration, or the development of irregular borders—which may indicate early signs of skin cancer. Digital Mole Mapping is especially valuable for individuals with a high risk for skin cancer and numerous or atypical moles, since it provides a reliable baseline for monitoring skin health and enables early detection of potentially serious skin conditions.
  1. Targeted Digital Dermoscopic Analysis: This is a comprehensive screening method designed specifically for individuals with an increased risk of developing skin cancer. This specialized program involves an in-depth examination of the skin using state-of-the art high-definition dermoscopy, a technique that allows us to observe the skin with the highest possible magnification and enhanced lighting. This method provides a clearer view of the skin’s patterns and structures, aiding in the early detection of skin cancer and other skin conditions. By systematically assessing the entire body, Total Body Dermoscopy is an effective approach to monitor changes over time and catch potential skin cancers and other issues at an earlier, more treatable stage.
  • Early Detection: Mole mapping identifies melanocytic skin cancer earlier than standard dermatological exams.
  • Fewer Biopsies: The mapping strategy reduces unnecessary biopsies and scars by the timely pinpointing of suspicious moles.
  • Peace of Mind: Mole mapping provides an effective, non-invasive, thorough screening, especially for individuals at high risk of skin cancer.

Elkhorn Dermatology's Advanced Digital Skin Cancer Exam and Mole Mapping

At Elkhorn Dermatology, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care to our community through substantial investment in cutting-edge technology. Our state-of-the-art FotoFinder Automated Total Body Mapping (ATBM) Master system integrates total body photography, high-resolution video dermoscopy, laser-guided imaging, and advanced artificial intelligence. This technology refines the “two-step method of digital follow-up” and enhances our ability to detect adverse skin changes—including possible signs of skin cancer—as early as possible. By leveraging these innovative tools, our practice takes total body skin checks to the next level, enabling the precise detection of new or evolving skin lesions with accuracy far beyond the human eye.

Whole Body Documentation: We methodically document your entire skin surface and individual lesions, enabling us to monitor even the most subtle changes over time, helping us detect skin cancer and other concerns.

Mole Mapping: We create a detailed image database of your moles, recording each mole’s exact location and characteristics. This ensures that changes suggesting potential skin cancer are never overlooked.

Comparative Analysis: Our FotoFinder AI system facilitates the side-by-side comparison of initial baseline images with those taken during follow-ups, allowing for precise monitoring and early detection of any changes that could indicate skin cancer.

“My focus is on helping patients understand their skin, recognize meaningful changes early, and take a proactive approach to protecting their skin health.”
