I needed to have a suspicious skin lesion tested
I needed to have a suspicious skin lesion checked for melanoma, and i have "biopsy fatigue" after having 30 or so lesions cut off me over the years (all negative). A couple years ago I found a local dermatologist that introduced me to "Dermtech", a non invasive (no cutting) dna test for melanoma in skin lesions. Alas, he left the city and the practice told me that Dermtech was no longer in business. They certainly are very much still in business, and after speaking with them they directed me to dermatologistoncall. I sent high res photos of the suspicious lesion, and Dr. B agreed that further testing was warranted. They set me up to receive a Dermtech test (arrived in 2 days), I then had a zoom call with their staff to oversee that the test was properly administered. I sent it back on Tuesday morning, and Friday morning Dr. B had left me a message with the results (negative, yeah!!). I would use them again without hesitation. And BTW, the local dermatologist wouldn't schedule me before 4 months - for suspected skin cancer that moves fast!!
