Dr. Scott Guenthner, board-certified dermatologist and founder of The Dermatology Center of Indiana, recently joined Kendall on 93.1 WIBC’s “Kendall and Casey” show to talk about a topic that affects millions of Americans every year—skin cancer. As the most common form of cancer in the U.S., skin cancer is a serious health concern, but with the right knowledge and proactive care, it’s also highly preventable and treatable.
In this special Skin Cancer Awareness Month segment, Dr. Guenthner shares expert insights on the importance of early detection, what signs to look for, and how full body skin exams can help catch skin cancer before it becomes dangerous. The interview also features a compelling story from a real patient highlighting just how critical these screenings can be.
🎧 Listen to the full interview below to hear Dr. Guenthner’s advice and a firsthand account of how early detection made all the difference for a real patient.
At The Dermatology Center of Indiana, we’re proud to support this important awareness initiative and encourage everyone to make their skin health a priority.
Why Early Detection Matters
When caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable. That’s why full body skin exams are a key part of prevention. During these exams, your provider carefully checks for any suspicious spots, moles, or changes in your skin that could be signs of cancer. Regular screenings can catch problems before they become serious.
Who Should Get a Skin Check?
Everyone. Skin cancer affects people of all skin types and ages. If you’ve spent time in the sun, used tanning beds, or have a family history of skin cancer, you may be at an even higher risk. But even without those factors, an annual skin exam is a smart move for your health.
Know the Signs
Be on the lookout for any changes in your skin, especially:
- A new growth or sore that doesn’t heal
- A mole that changes shape, size, or color
- Any spot that looks different from the rest
If you notice anything unusual, don’t wait—schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.
