Florida Skin Center Honors Melanoma Awareness Month

Complimentary Skin Checks Performed

 FORT MYERS, FL. (July 7, 2021) – Florida Skin Center (FSC), skin care specialists that provide a full range of medical and cosmetic dermatological care honored Melanoma Awareness Month in May by offering a morning of complimentary skin checks. 

 “Melanoma is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in the United States and the deadliest form of skin cancer,” said Dr. Anais Aurora Badia, M.D., D.O., Florida Skin Center founder, and chief medical officer.  “Melanoma can spread quickly to other organs, and it causes the vast majority of skin cancer deaths in the United States. Luckily, melanoma can often be detected in its early and most treatable stages. That’s why we are proud to offer this free service to the Southwest Florida Community.”

 During the event, FSC’s skin care experts were able to spot a few cases of skin cancer, including melanoma. 

 For those that missed the event, complimentary skin checks are available Monday-Friday at all four FSC locations, once per year, per person.  Appointments can be scheduled online by visiting www.FloridaSkinCenter.com via the online scheduler or by phone at (239) 561-3376. 

 FSC performs more than 2,000 free skin checks annually, saving patients more than $100,000 per year.  Since opening in 2001, FSC has performed more than 250,000 free skin checks.
