What is Total Body Photography? How Can It Help You?
Early detection and timely treatment for skin cancer can be life-saving. Through precise total body photography, your doctors will get a clear idea about all the moles and freckles present on your body. They will closely monitor the structure, shape and colour of each mole to determine whether it is benign or suspicious for malignancy. If your doctor feels that a particular mole on your body is suspicious, then he/she might even undertake a biopsy for confirmation. This will help your doctor to plan further treatment to stop the disease from spreading and kill cancerous growth in that particular region.
