How often do you go back to derm?

Sounds correct 🙂

My dermatologist sees me every 6 months. Every three months seems a little often to me if you are doing routine exams too. Just my opinion. At this point we have never discussed long term but I would imagine every 6 months.

Sounds about right although my derm previously said annual was pointless so I remained at 6monthly for 10 years

I was diagnosed as Stage 3B about a year and a half ago and go to the dermatologist for a skin check every 6 months.  That is what my oncologist recommended.

Diagnosed Ib in 1998, IV in 2009, and Ia 2014. I have derm exams every three months and onc follow-up every 12 weeks.

My husband, 3C, gets a mole check by his dermatologist (director) or PA at his melanoma center every three months at this point. 

Every 3 mo for 1st 2 years, just competed and now every 6 months henceforth.  

Sounds about right, assuming you wanna be very proactive and dont mind the co-pays if any. For me on the other hand, im a little pissed off “Still” not at my Dermatologist but at the folks who Analized my initial biopsy on my left leg back in Like October 2016 inwich it came back “not” Melanoma but something else “non cancerous”(forget name)..well, for the next 3 or so months it grew back with a vengence (had a shaved bio), came back, had “another” shaved biopsy and this time it was Melanoma and i believe that 3 maybe 4 month time frame it migrated to my lungs…i havnt seen them in 2yrs…ill look over myself! Lol…Mike
