Pennsylvania Dermatology Partners' Pottstown Location Now Offering Free Skin Cancer Screenings

Pennsylvania Dermatology Partners' Pottstown Location Now Offering Free Skin Cancer Screenings

Pottstown, PA – October 20, 2020 – Pennsylvania Dermatology Partners (PDP) – the region’s fastest growing dermatology practice – has announced it is now offering free skin cancer screenings to new patients at its Pottstown practice

at 2093 E. High Street. Physician Assistant, Cassandra Baier, will conduct the screenings by appointment only during office hours.

According to the American Cancer Society, more skin cancers are diagnosed in the United States each year than all other cancers combined. Risk factors for the development of skin cancer include: Sunlight exposure, blistering burns in childhood (even one can double the risk of melanoma), indoor tanning beds, and having greater than 50 moles. Everyone is at risk regardless of age, sex, or skin color.

Melanoma usually forms in skin that has been exposed to damaging sunlight, but it can form anywhere. Preventive measures consist of using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 and wearing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses that block UV radiation. When melanoma is diagnosed in its early stages, treatment is less invasive. In fact, sometimes treatment can be as simple as a surgical procedure during a doctor’s visit.

For more information, or to schedule your free skin cancer screening with Cassandra Baier, PA-C, please call 888-895-3376.
