"Doctor, do i need a skin check?"

Abstract:

:Total-body skin examination (TBSE) is the bedrock on which most general dermatologists' clinic days are built. Primarily performed for all-cause skin cancer detection and prevention, the clinical data gained and advice imparted during the patient visit disseminate safety guidelines and behavioral patterns that can shape a community's approach to its risk factors and screening practices. Nonetheless, TBSE technique, frequency, and data-driven evidence of improvement in population morbidity and mortality comprise ongoing debate. When a patient asks, "Do I need a skin check?", the answer is more complicated than one might imagine. For now, each clinician who screens for skin cancer must optimize the face-to-face opportunities with the patient to view as much as we can as often as clinically prudent. As said by Philip Roth, "Seeing is believing and believing is knowing and knowing beats unknowing and the unknown." Recommendations are provided here for clinicians to address the clinical utility of the screening practices we adopt every day.
