San Fernando Valley Dermatologist, Dr. Peyman Ghasri, is Offering an End-of-Summer Skin Cancer Screening Special

    SAN FERNANDO VALLEY, CA, September 15, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- San Fernando Valley dermatologist, Dr. Peyman Ghasri, is now offering an End-of-Summer Skin Cancer Screening special. This special is good until the end of September and can provide patients with valuable information about their skin health. "Although summer is coming to an end, the dangers of sun exposure are not," explains Dr. Ghasri's team.

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends monthly self-checks, but periodic skin exams by an experienced dermatologist are also an important weapon in the battle against skin cancer. Even those who do not spend their summers soaking up the warm summer sun may have still gotten enough UV exposure to increase their risk of skin cancer. Other risk factors include a family history of skin cancer, a history of sunburns, living in a sunny climate, the presence of precancerous skin lesions and a personal history of skin cancer.

Symptoms of skin cancer include:
- A pearly or waxy bump
- Flat or rough lesions
- Red nodules
- Crusty, scaly lesions
- Moles that change in color, size or feel
- Moles that bleed
- Moles or lesions with irregular borders or colors

Even those without symptoms or risk factors of skin cancer can benefit from periodic screenings. Dr. Peyman Ghasri can determine a patient's risk factors and explain preventive routines, as well as the appropriate skin exam schedule.

Dr. Ghasri offers extensive dermatology treatment options including treatments for skin cancer, moles, actinic keratosis, warts, eczema and psoriasis. He also offers cosmetic treatments such as peels, fillers, Botox, Dysport, Ultherapy and fractional laser resurfacing.
