SpotCheck

Your Partner in Early Skin Cancer Detection

At Apex Skin Center, we understand that noticing a new skin lesion can be stressful, and waiting for an appointment can only worsen the anxiety. New skin lesions or growths, while often benign, can sometimes signal the onset of more serious conditions like skin cancer. Prompt evaluation is crucial because early detection and treatment are often the keys to successful outcomes in skin cancer management.

According to the American Cancer Society, over 5 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancers are diagnosed annually in the United States alone. Melanoma, although less common, is more dangerous and accounts for a significant number of skin cancer deaths.

One in five Americans will develop a skin cancer in their life.

That is why Apex Skin Center offers SpotCheck visits to have your growth of concern evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist. We offer same-day or next-day appointments at our office in Fuquay-Varina, ensuring that you don’t have to wait weeks to address your concern. Our streamlined scheduling process ensures that you can see a board-certified dermatologist without unnecessary delays. Whether it’s a sudden change in a mole’s appearance, an unexplained new growth, or a nonhealing lesion; at Apex Skin Center we are here for you and your skin.
