Pariser Dermatology's Melissa Alcox, PA-C, performs a full-body skin exam and talks about the details involved in this potentially life-saving routine procedure.
Very helpful video, I'm going for my first general checkup next week because I got the lightest skin type and skin cancer is something that is on my mind often, even though I avoid the sun, never safe enough.
So cute omg thanks so much for making this!! I especially love how you and your patient look as well as how you handled your patient it was very appropriate for this exam and I also thought it was cute and she didn't feel uncomfortable with you looking at her so that's good I love every part of this video it's so relaxing!!
Which is a shame because Bob didn't take good care of himself. More concerned about his career over his health. He died way too young at the age of 36.
@@christophercasey6775 No Bob Marley was incredible shape. A lesser man would had been dead. He needed to get his big toe amputated but refuse not because of career but because of religious reasons. Also Bob would not get check ups to see if the cancer had spread. However, some believed that the CIA killed him so who really knows. He is one of the greatest Rock N Roll artist of all times and he is The King of Reggae.
actually it's unidentified the reason why Bob Marley died some say it's because of melanoma on his toe but others say that someone he was assassinated and a bunch of other things
My MD sent me to a dermatologist at Oschner for a full body cancer screening. Yeah he barely looked at me. I was disgusted because I still have suspect moles all over my body. Needless to say I won't go back to that dermatology clinic
Same happened to me but I don't have any moles, but my brother (same parents) gets 3-6 moles removed that are precancerous yearly. I had to tell her can you look at my back because I get acne and she said bye right before.
I had severe acne when I was a kid. My MD sent me to a dermatologist because he suspected there were some other underlying issues. The first two dermatologists just looked at my face and wrote me a prescription. In fact, I was on amoxicillin for over 2 years. I finally saw someone that was competent and she diagnosed me with rosacea. She helped me find the right face wash, topical cream, and diet that fixed everything. My confidence soared. She was seriously the best.
If you are fair-skinned, have over 50 moles, get sun exposure (playing sports, working outside, sun bathing, etc) I would go. I think it's a good idea to get accustomed early.
That's one thing that I never had none is a full body skin check. Now there is some of my family members did have cancer maybe I should get check too because I will soon be 59 years old and never had it done
Do it yourself. She did absolutely nothing. Your next door neighbor could give you this exam. Oh well that looks suspicious well do a biopsy. Who cant do that
God bless you AND World por más añitos aquí en la tierra y Algún día por la eternidad con los que amamos el mundo entero bendiciones besos gracias por tanto amor❤
Wow I not only learned from her sharing passion...I just found out how Bob really died. I didn't the assassination was just an attempt and it was cancer that killed him!
I came to watch for ASMR purposes, but wound up being among the items Melissa is carrying in her lab coat pocket! lol A very attractive and charming woman!!
Bob Marley was actually poisoned! There was a copper wire with an unknown substance placed inside of his soccer shoe. When he went to put a shoe on, the wire pricked his toe and died shortly there after.
Why not get a model/patient who is comfortable showing skin. I mean wearing a bathing suit and a gown(?) and then covered with a sheet. Seriously. Should have worn a suit for astronauts while she was at it.
Purely for medical reasons/ education, there is no point to this video, if we can't observe what actually happens, because you have to cover the model up. What would have been better is either, hire a model who will pose nude or just have a different video where you dicuss the exam verbally with no demonstration. I doubt your accredited place of learning taught in this manner? So why teach like this?
Underwear is unnecessary to remove for skin cancer screening unless you go out in the sun naked. If their is a bump or a weird spot on the skin in the gential area that is for your gynecologist for women and urologist for men to look at. Also, remember it is up to you on what you want to remove, not the doctor they could care less about you as long as they get their money. Technically speaking, most screenings are a waste of money. You will notice a problem way quicker than a doctor will. For example, you notice a new mole or something on your body you have never seen before.
@FrozenSurf The most common kind of skin cancer is cause by sunburn. So unless you are out in the sun naked and getting your genitals all burned up, then it is very unnecessary. I am a welder, so I gotta be careful of that stuff on my arms.
@@bronsonleach3573yes sunburn and sun exposure is a cause, but skin cancer can develop anywhere on the body, not just the exposed parts. You can burn your arms every day and develop skin cancer on your ass as a result. I’m married to a doctor. She knows.
You can get skin cancer anywhere on the body, it doesn’t just occur from sun exposure. Viral infections for example can lead to skin cancer on the genitals, and a gyno/urologist may refer you to a dermatologist if something looks concerning. Also, dermatologists are doctors. A full screening isn’t a waste of money because these are medical doctors trained to recognize what cancers look like. Melanoma can kill you, and if you have a family history of it, do you really want to take that chance because you think you know better?
Does someone have to go to school for this. Because I believe anyone can be a dermatologist. Well that doesn't look good. Lets do a biopsy. Lets see what other so called drs. Are giving out for such & such I'll give you that. What a joke
My doctor has been telling me for years I need to get this done. After watching this video, I am motivated.
Who's here for the ASMR? 👍
Meeee lol. ✨
Even non-asmr exams are relaxing
Vv.
Wish it was longer!
YESSS ME2
This is such a good video, wish it was longer

I avoided the sun most of my life. I mean not when I was younger. But also got bcc in a part that never gets that exposed
I’ve been to see her before. She’s awesome!
Where is this clinic?
Ken Costlow In Virginia Beach VA
Weird flex but k
Kim Jong Un actually, not a weird flex as it pertains to the video. Shouldn’t you be writing love letters to your boyfriend, Orange man?
@@_KimJong-un_ I love how someone made a Kim Jong Un account to troll. 😂😂😂👎🏻
I had my yearly skin check today! All good.
that's great! I'm happy for you❤
I've got so many freckles and moles, I wouldn't know where to start. It worries me😐
Is it me or does watching this make you fall asleep

She seems very knowledgeable and professional.
Good thing you mentioned Bob Marley, where it started in his toe. Interesting.

@@truthseeker1934 "dumber" is not a word
We need more videos like that
My doc thought I had something cancerous on my back. Didn't want to wait and cut it off right then and there. Ouch! Looked like a rare piece of steak.
Medical students everywhere are yelling, "I can't see anything!".
It's almost like this video isn't intended for med student training
You missed nothing the average person couldn't have done. If this is what your spending money on school. Dont waste it. I could have done this exam

Doctors dismiss patients all the time because they are lazy. Karma will get them.
Keep pushing your video, also grinding is the way, YOU GOT THIS🤟🏾
Do they only check moles with them or do they check cysts and such?
They check pretty much everything on your skin.
This video was insightful and wholesome 😂
Is it just me or should the PA be wearing gloves?
For a detailed exam, not necessary. Gloves can impair the clinician's ability to feel small lesions or temperature changes throughout the body.
How old should someone be before they have a skin check?
Depends on how much sun exposure you've had. I would say somewhere between age 18 - 21.
If you are fair-skinned, have over 50 moles, get sun exposure (playing sports, working outside, sun bathing, etc) I would go. I think it's a good idea to get accustomed early.
Ser mejor persona y gracias por cuidarnos de todo mal al mundo entero que amamos bendiciones ❤
When would you go to have this? Like why would you go to check
That's one thing that I never had none is a full body skin check. Now there is some of my family members did have cancer maybe I should get check too because I will soon be 59 years old and never had it done

@@tommac21You need to do more research.
didn't know Bob Marley died of skin cancer. so sad especially cos its one of the easiest forms of cancer to treat.
Doctors initially recommended that he amputate his toe but he didn’t want to and it eventually spread to his brain and lungs.
In Rastafari, amputation, even for medical purposes, is considered a sin.
@@KangaPanda thats a messed up ideology
I like this video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
I have bcc. But I do not want a full body exam. Is this possible where I can just get certain parts.
Honest question, is it still skin cancer if it’s on the fingernail? When I hear it my brain thinks of skin and fingernails as 2 very different things.
Yup. Still considered skin cancer, as far as I know. Because it's usually under the nail and you can see it through the nail plate
Shes worried about the mole on her foot im concered about why her foot is blue so girl...
How to have such spotless skin?

@1:10 this patient is screwed!!!
Melissa you are gorgeous
Seems like a rather dark “exam” room. Get it lit up better, you might see more.
If only these skin exams didn't nearly cost $300, more often than not

She missed the lymph node exam

Why they both so fine

Nurse is hot
1:18 I'm sure she meant to say Gentle skin.
Would sound similar, but no. 🤷🏼♀️
Lol why would she say gentle skin? That makes no sense. She was talking about skin in the groin area, hence genital skin.
2:10 it’s time to sniff armpits

I'm not removing underwear.
The CIA killed Bob Marley.
Lol
The doctor and the patient usually get red in the face but I suspect only I got red in the face.
Well, I was here for the asmr, but after loudly proclaiming about diagnosing cancer on the genitals, I'll leave it.
Yeah but your patient probably found the melonoma themself and it why they came in. It's not like you guys find it before it appears.
yearly skin exams exist purely as a preventative measure you'd go to a GP if u noticed that you had an issue

Not true, skin cancer can develop on any area, including the soles of your feet. So checking each and every inch of your body is necessary.

Can't get skin cancer on the butt or the groin area, eh?????
They’re not going to show that
What?? Why wouldn’t he let you look at his legs??
