Free skin cancer screenings in May
Free skin cancer screenings are available this month thanks to the American Academy of Dermatology, according to Consumer Reports.
In Maryland, there are three medical professionals offering screenings, two on May 21, so make your appointments early --- they are bound to fill up fast. None are in Baltimore --- Chevy Chase, Randallstown and Waldorf.
As CR states, the screening wouldn't take the place of an exam by your own doctor if you've got something on your skin that you're worried about, but it's a good choice if you don't have health insurance.
UPDATED: The AAD has offered these screenings as part of Skin Cancer Awareness Month. There's a site in Westminster as well:
The dermatology office of Dr. Lawrence Feldman and Dr. Teri Kahn8 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 30, 2009
902 Washington Road
Westminster, Md.
Call 410-876-0286 to make an appointment.
