• Statistically speaking, Americans are growing old
  at a higher rate than ever before. The U.S.
  Census shows that more of the U.S. population is
  65 years and older than any years prior.
• Geriatric dermatology is a dermatological
  specialty that specifically caters to older
  patients, especially ones receiving special skin
  care.

• Geriatric dermatology calls for full-body skin
  exams, which is an important way of screening
  patients for benign or cancerous lesions. A
  geriatric dermatology specialist will inspect
  your skin for any suspicious growths. The entire
  experience will be relatively quick and painless
  and is recommended at least once a year.
• Geriatric dermatology includes skin cancer
  screenings. An experienced and skilled geriatric
  dermatology expert will examine you for pearly or
  waxy bumps, flesh-colored scar-like lesions, firm
  red nodules, crusted flat lesions, moles that
  change shape or color, shiny, firm bumps and more.

• As people get older, their chance of skin
  disorders increase. Geriatric dermatology is more
  important than ever before as both intrinsic
  aging and extrinsic aging occur amidst people of
  all genders, ethnicities and cultures.
