The ABCDEs of Melanoma

Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer that can be fatal if not identified and treated early. At Derick Dermatology , we take great pride in protecting our patients from harmful melanomas by performing thorough, full-body, skin examinations. Since last Melanoma Monday, we diagnosed and treated approximately 400 melanomas. If you haven't come in for your yearly skin exam or have a mole with any of the American Academy of Dermatology's "ABCDE " characteristics, call us at (847) 381-8899 to get scheduled.
