Dermatologist in Colorado Springs, CO.

It’s generally recommended that everyone visit a dermatologist once a year. Has it been some time since your last preventive skin check? Do you need to have signs of potential skin disease checked? If so, Skin Cancer & Dermatology Center is your connection to a group of experienced dermatologists in the Colorado Springs, CO, area. We also have offices in Trinidad and Pueblo, CO.

Recommended Frequency of Dermatology Visits

How often you visit a dermatologist depends on a variety of factors, including:

• Diagnosed skin diseases
• Genetic predisposition to skin cancer or other diseases
• Known health conditions that may affect the skin
• Cosmetic issues like acne that impact your self-confidence
• Current age

If you have healthy skin with no known or suspected diseases or cosmetic issues, you will require less frequent dermatology visits than other patients. Let’s get into specifics to see if you need to call Skin Cancer & Dermatology Center for an appointment with an experienced dermatologist.

Routine Skin Checks for Maintenance & Prevention  

What if you don’t have any known skin diseases or cosmetic issues that impact your self-confidence? You still need to see a dermatologist at least once a year.

It’s not much different than visiting a primary care provider for routine annual checkups. Your primary provider will process bloodwork and ask questions designed to detect early signs of disease. A dermatologist will do the same by checking every inch of your body for subtle signs of disease that you may not notice at home.

Customized Follow-Ups for Disease Management

If you have a diagnosed or suspected skin disease, our dermatologist will recommend more frequent visits. They will provide diagnostic testing and routine services that are customized to your individual health. Your care will go beyond annual skin checks.

Our dermatologist will tell you the anticipated frequency of visits once a skin disease is detected or suspected. They may also ask you to come into the office more often if you’re vulnerable to a skin disease due to genetics, work environment, or other factors.

You may see our dermatologist every month or biweekly while actively diagnosing or treating skin disease. It’s common to see your dermatologist every three to six months as the disease is better controlled.
