Frequency of Derm Visits

Hi . I responded to you elsewhere, but I wanted to jump in here, too, especially since it's a holiday weekend and people might be slower to reply. I can understand why you feel nervous about the thoroughness of your exams. I think that's probably natural since doctors are only human and might miss something. I'm guessing you'll get a variety of responses here. Some people are comfortable with annual skin checks while others need that validation that everything is okay more often. I'm not sure there is truly a right answer.
Here is a wonderful article that tries to answer that very question: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/how-often-should-i-see-my-dermatologist. I hope you find it helpful. If you live in the US, I hope you enjoy the holiday! - Lori (Team Member)
