        Whenever I make an appointment with a dermatologist one of the first things they ask: Is this for a full body check? That’s because a full body check requires a longer period of time scheduled for the doctor’s time.

        I would go to a different dermatologist because I need to be able to trust them. That’s important. You deserve a doctor that doesn’t rush. Call around and ask how much time is blocked off for a full body scan.
