The sun’s out, the beach is calling—and it’s a great time to think about your skin health. We’ve been hearing this question a lot lately from patients: “Do I need a skin exam?”
The risk of skin cancer increases with age, so it’s good to routinely get a full-body once-over. While there are no official guidelines, here’s what we recommend at Midi:
-
If you're under age 49 and don’t have risk factors, we suggest getting a full-body skin screening every 3 years.
-
If you're 50 or older, we recommend yearly screenings.
-
If you're at higher risk at any age, you may need to go more often. Risk factors include having very fair skin, lots of freckles, a history of sunburns or indoor tanning, a family history of melanoma, the BRCA-2 gene mutation, or an HIV diagnosis or other condition that affects your immune system.
Your clinician can set you up with the right screening schedule and recommend the best prescriptions for healthy, glowing skin in an AgeWell Visit. |

“You’re not ‘crazy’—and there is help!"
Jennifer B., 55 |
|
When I turned 50, my body started feeling foreign to me. Murder-scene periods, brain fog, weight gain, hot flashes, and so much more. I went to a couple of doctors who told me what I was going through was “normal” and “to be expected.” No, thank you—I was depressed and not myself. But I couldn’t find anyone who knew about hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
I’m so glad I found a sympathetic and smart place to land with Midi. My clinician knew what she was talking about. Now, I feel stronger and better than ever. My attitude has done a 180! And I want other women to know there is help for you, too.
