Abstract

In order to project the Dermatology to the general population, to learn about some aspects of the problem of skin cancer and to initiate national public education campaigns, Asocolderma started this program in Medellín as a pilot city. We present the results of the first program realized on May 17, 18 and 19, 2011, with the participation of Universidad CES and Universidad de Antioquia Dermatology grous, and other dermatologists in the city. 
Of the 2,404 telephone requests, 1,265 citations were awarded. Malignant or premalignant lesions were suspected in 246 patients, 149 biopsies were taken and atypical nevi or actinic keratoses were suggested clinically in the remainder. There were 2 patients with malignant melanoma, 14 squamous cell carcinomas, 59 basal cell carcinomas, and 1 porocarcinoma. Important information was obtained on the practices of sun exposure and protection in this patient group.
