Skin Cancer Screening in Delhi
It’s essential to get checked for skin cancer symptoms—whether through a self-exam or by visiting a dermatologist. Skin cancer, when caught early, is highly treatable.
At Isya Aesthetics, we specialize in comprehensive skin cancer screenings to detect any warning signs like white or black cancer spot on skin before they progress, especially for those with a high risk or extensive sun exposure.
Isya is a trusted skin cancer screening center offering both visual exams and biopsies, whenever necessary.
Skin Cancer Types
Skin cancer types generally falls into three main categories, each with varying severity:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): The most common and least dangerous skin cancer type, often appearing as a pearly or waxy bump on sun-exposed areas. It grows slowly and rarely spreads, but it can cause damage if untreated.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): This skin cancer type appears as a red, scaly patch or sore on the skin that doesn’t heal. It can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
- Melanoma: The most dangerous form of skin cancer. Melanoma can develop from an existing skin mole or suddenly appear as a dark, irregular patch. Early detection is crucial as it can spread rapidly to other parts of the body.
Our experienced dermatologists, including a senior specialist in skin mole screening and biopsies, provide thorough assessments to detect early-stage skin cancer by detecting skin cancer moles, rashes or lumps, ensuring prompt treatment if necessary.
What is Skin Cancer Screening?
Skin cancer screening is a non-invasive examination performed by a dermatologist to detect early-stage skin cancer, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Regular skin cancer screenings can save lives by catching early-stage skin cancer at its most treatable time.
During your skin cancer screening session, the doctor will look for:
- nodules
- lesions
- patches of skin different
- from the surrounding skin
- areas of discoloration
- sores that bleed
At Isya Aesthetics, we recommend annual skin cancer screenings and encourage self-checks once a month.

- Those with a family history of skin cancer.
- Individuals who have many skin moles or atypical moles.
What About a Skin Self-Exam?
A skin self-exam is a critical practice for detecting early signs of skin cancer. By regularly checking your skin at home, you can spot new or changing moles and lesions. Self-exams can be done in front of a mirror, focusing on hard-to-see areas like the scalp, back, and soles of the feet.
How to Perform a Skin Self-Exam
To perform a skin self-exam:
- Stand in front of a full-length mirror in a well-lit room.
- Examine your entire body, including the scalp, neck, arms, torso, legs, and feet.
- Use a handheld mirror for difficult-to-see areas like the back.
- Follow the ABCDE rule (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving) to check moles and spots.
- Track any changes over time.
Monthly self-exams help detect skin cancer at an early-stage.
Skin Cancer Symptoms to Look for
Check any skin cancer moles, blemishes, or birthmarks from the top of your head to your toes. If you look at your skin regularly, you will know what’s normal for you.
Not all skin cancer types look the same. In fact, skin cancers can show up in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes they might even look like other non-cancerous skin conditions. Some of the more common ways in which skin cancers can appear include:
- A new, expanding, or changing growth, spot, or bump on the skin
- A sore that bleeds and/or doesn’t heal after several weeks
- A rough or scaly red patch, which might crust or bleed
- A wart-like growth
- A mole (or other spot on the skin) that’s new or changing in size, shape, or color
- A skin mole with an odd shape, irregular borders, or areas of different colors
ABCDE rule for checking moles to help identify early-stage skin cancer or signs of melanoma:
A – Asymmetry: One-half of the skin mole doesn’t match the other in shape or size.
B – Border Irregularity: Edges are uneven, blurry, or ragged.
C – Color: Uneven color with different shades like tan, brown, or black.
D – Diameter: Moles larger than 1/4 inch (about 6mm) should be examined.
E – Evolving: Any change in skin mole size, shape, color, or other traits over time should be checked by a dermatologist.
But it’s important to understand that these are not the only ways skin cancer can appear. To learn more about what skin cancer might look like consult with our skin cancer screening expert at Isya Aesthetics.
