Having had a number of skin cancers removed over the last couple of decades, my previous long-time…read moredermatologist (in the Denver area) recommended that I have a 'full body scan' every year. She recommended this only after having several 'clean' scans during the first four quarters after she had removed the last skin cancer. During each full body scan, she went over my entire body (even my scalp), occasionally finding some she would focus on, magnifying them, scraping at them, etc. I've had these basil cell carcinomas removed from my face, my shins and my thighs.
Since moving to TX in 2017, I have requested full body scans of three dermatologists. None of them, including Katherine St. Clair, performed a full body scan. I had begun to wonder if different regions of the country might have different definitions of 'full body scan'. So I did a little research.
The full body scan is described as follows on several medical/dermatology websites I looked at had essentially the same definition as your website. Yours shows the following information for annual skin exam/full body scan: "Your dermatologist will thoroughly check your skin from head to toe, paying close attention to hard-to-see spots like your scalp, back and buttocks, behind your ears, and even between your toes. Your dermatologist may utilize a small handheld magnifying device called a dermatoscope, that visualizes the outer surface of the skin (the epidermis) and the layers just beneath it."
Katherine froze every suspicious spot I pointed out to her, but, never looked at anything else. I also wasn't sure that freezing was the proper treatment for all of them. One of them was right below my right eye, and I had a hard time trying to keep my eyelid closed so that the freezing solution didn't get into my eye. I will be 78 years old in a couple of months, and perhaps because of my age, or for some other reason, she didn't feel a full body scan was warranted. I don't know, but these are the types of things I've been thinking since Katherine is the third dermatologist/nurse/assistant, etc. here in TX who didn't do what I was used to during a full body scan.
Katherine was very friendly, which is nice. And another staff member came into the room shortly after Katherine -- to observe. So it didn't appear that time was the problem. But, the bottom line is that Katherine didn't perform a full body scan.
