For both men and women, skin cancer is the most common malignancy and unlike colon, breast and lung cancer, skin cancers should be visible as they exist on the exterior of our bodies. Primary care providers need to be proficient in examining the skin of our patients and recognizing suspicious skin lesions. It’s just not possible to send all patients to a dermatologist for a skin exam. In this podcast, we’ll explore what questions we should ask our patients before we perform an exam of their skin, how we fit a skin exam into our busy schedules, and when a photograph of a skin lesion might be of benefit. Our guest for this podcast is Emma F. Johnson, M.D., a dermatologist from the Mayo Clinic.
