Skin Cancer Screening & Treatment in East Texas

Expert Dermatologic Care at Wallis Dermatology Associates

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States—but when detected early, it is highly treatable. At Wallis Dermatology Associates, we are proud to provide comprehensive skin cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment for patients across East Texas.

Our board-certified dermatology team is committed to early detection, personalized treatment plans, and long-term skin health using evidence-based care and advanced dermatologic techniques.

Why Regular Skin Cancer Screenings Matter

Living in East Texas means year-round sun exposure, which increases the risk of skin cancer over time. Routine skin checks play a critical role in identifying concerning lesions before they become more serious.

Regular skin cancer screenings help:

• Detect skin cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages

• Identify changes in moles or lesions

• Reduce the risk of advanced disease

• Provide peace of mind through professional evaluation

We recommend annual full-body skin exams for most patients, or more frequent screenings for those with higher risk factors.

Types of Skin Cancer We Screen & Treat

Our dermatologists diagnose and treat all major forms of skin cancer, including:

• Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – The most common type, often caused by long-term sun exposure

• Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – May spread if not treated early

• Melanoma – The most serious form of skin cancer, requiring prompt diagnosis and care

• Precancerous Lesions (Actinic Keratoses) – Early sun damage that can progress if untreated

Early detection is key to achieving the best outcomes.

What to Expect During a Skin Cancer Screening

A skin cancer screening at Wallis Dermatology is thorough, professional, and efficient.

During your visit, we will:

• Perform a full-body skin examination

• Evaluate moles, lesions, and areas of concern

• Discuss any changes you’ve noticed in your skin

• Recommend biopsies if necessary

• Create a personalized monitoring or treatment plan

Screenings are non-invasive and typically take less than 30 minutes.

Skin Cancer Treatment Options

If skin cancer or precancerous lesions are detected, our team offers a range of customized treatment options, depending on the type, size, and location of the lesion.

Treatment options may include:

• Surgical excision

• Cryotherapy (freezing treatment)

• Topical prescription therapies

• Advanced dermatologic procedures as medically appropriate

Our goal is to effectively treat skin cancer while preserving healthy skin and achieving optimal cosmetic outcomes whenever possible.

Who Should Schedule a Skin Cancer Screening?

You may be at higher risk for skin cancer if you:

• Have a history of sunburns or excessive sun exposure

• Have fair skin, light eyes, or a family history of skin cancer

• Notice a changing, itching, bleeding, or irregular mole

• Have previously been diagnosed with skin cancer

• Spend significant time outdoors

If you have concerns, early evaluation is always encouraged.
