Dr. Aradhna Saxena is a dermatologist in the community of
Lansdale, PA and Fort Washington, PA who encourages patients in the community
to consider the benefits of regular skin cancer screenings and evaluations at
the Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute.
What are the different types of skin cancer?
The primary three types of skin cancer that are diagnosed at
our practice include:
- Basal cell
- Squamous cell
- Melanoma
How dangerous is skin cancer?
Most episodes of skin cancer are typically not very severe.
However, when patients are diagnosed with melanoma, they may experience serious
risks if the area is not properly treated. Melanoma can be deadly, which is why
early detection and intervention is incredibly important.
What are symptoms of skin cancer?
Dr. Aradhna Saxena encourages patients to monitor changes in
their skin, specifically with moles, skin tags, and other skin growths.
Patients want to look for changes in the color, shape, and size of the skin
growth and if there are any concerns, visit a dermatologist right away for an
evaluation.
What happens during a skin cancer evaluation and screening?
During a skin cancer evaluation, patients are often visiting
because of a concern with one or more areas of the body. However, once a year,
patients should book with our team a skin cancer screening appointment. During
this appointment, the dermatologist evaluates the skin from head to toe to look
for moles, growths, and skin tags that may indicate the possibility of existing
skin cancer. A biopsy may be taken, during which a portion of this area is
removed, and then sent to a dental laboratory for further evaluation.
How can I connect with a dermatologist for a screening?
Dr. Aradhna Saxena of the Dermatology and Skin Cancer

cancer screenings and evaluations. Her Lansdale, PA office is located at 1003
