Skin cancers are diagnosed by biopsies, procedures in which a sample of tissue is extracted from your skin and analyzed in a laboratory. Pathologists use a microscope to examine tissue samples and look for cancer cells and other abnormalities.
If you show signs and symptoms of skin cancer, see a dermatologist. He or she will talk with you about your medical history and symptoms and conduct a physical exam. Your dermatologist will evaluate your skin and, if needed, perform a skin biopsy to determine if you have skin cancer or another skin disease, condition or infection.
