In recognition of Melanoma Monday, Apex Skin expanded access to free skin cancer screening and spot checks across its locations, making it easier for patients to take a proactive approach to their skin health.

This annual initiative reflects Apex Skin’s continued commitment to increasing access to care and encouraging early detection through convenient, community-focused screening opportunities.

Melanoma remains one of the most serious forms of skin cancerand early detection plays a critical role in improving outcomes.

In Ohio, melanoma rates are higher than the national average, with mortality reported up to 14% higher than the rest of the country. These trends reinforce the importance of routine melanoma screening and ongoing skin cancer prevention.

During Melanoma Monday events, Apex Skin providers perform a focused skin cancer check, evaluating moles, freckles, or other areas of concern for changes in size, shape, color, or texture.

These evaluations are quick, non-invasive, and designed to provide patients with peace of mind while identifying any areas that may require further diagnostic testing or a full skin exam.

Because skin cancer does not always present with pain or obvious symptoms, professional evaluation remains an important step in early detection.

By offering free spot checks across multiple locations, Apex Skin helps remove common barriers to care and makes it easier for patients to prioritize routine screenings.

For individuals searching for skin cancer screening near me, Apex Skin provides accessible, expert care across its 15 locations in Northeast Ohio—connecting patients with experienced providers and timely evaluations.

Noticing a new or changing spot—or simply overdue for a check? Taking a few minutes now could make a meaningful difference.

Apex Skin’s Spot Check program offers quick, focused evaluations designed to identify potential concerns early and connect you with next steps if needed.
