Skin Cancer Screening Clinics

If you have an immediate need and are concerned about your skin cancer risk, make an appointment now with a dermatologist.  Check the phone book or go online to the American Academy of Dermatology. Otherwise, consider visiting a local free screening clinic when one occurs in your area.
