Total Skin Exam

Total Skin Exam

2 years ago I had a squamous cancer removed from my hand. While reading recommendations after surgery it is adviseable to have a total skin exam yearly. I have scheduled total skin exams but the doctor only checks areas likely to be exposed to the sun. Why do you think it is published that an external genital exam is required but this doctor doesn't feel it necessary?

You should have a total body exam, and if your doctor does not please get a second opinion.
