Exam From Your Dermatologist

By Kevin Berman, MD, PhD, Health Guide Tuesday, September 26, 2006

I hope this sheds some light on what to expect when going to the dermatologist for a skin exam. The skin exam and any necessary biopsies are usually done within 10-15 minutes, although each dermatologist practices slightly differently. A thorough full body skin exam should be done yearly, or more often if needed.
