I think I may have skin cancer. Do I just go to my regular doctor to get the mole in question checked, or should I go elsewhere? Thanks.

a dermatologist is likely your best bet, since skin is their specialty. But dermatologists are specialists, so check your ins coverage- you may need a referral from your reg doc to get an appointment with one, for ins purposes. Good luck.

Chloe,
If you like your regular MD yes if he/she feels it is out of their hand they will refer you to a skin doctor.

Make an appointment with a dermatologist. (You may need a referral from your PCP, if your insurance requires that.)
