Spinoff to skin cancer..
so i have some moles/beauty marks that should probably be checked out.
my question is, who do you go to for this? is this something a regular doctor can assess or should i bypass him and go to a dermatologist? do i need a referral?

Re: Spinoff to skin cancer..
Go to a dermatologist and they will have you come in on a schedule to have them checked out.
My derm has pics of my whole body  and he checks them every 6 months. I have had a bunch removed (not painful) and 1 had to be deeply excised because the biopsy came back abnormal. All was OK though.
Good luck!

When I wanted a mole checked out, I went straight to my dermatologist. They checked that mole out and then did a full body search. I was more comfortable seeing them then my regular dr.

Re: Spinoff to skin cancer..
do not pass go. directly to the dermatologist. referrals depend on your ins.
but some places do free screenings as well.
