Concerns about cancer may be taking a back seat to cosmetics in some doctor's offices.
A new study finds that it's easier to get in to see a dermatologist for a Botox shot than it is to get checked for skin cancer.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco surveyed dermatologists in 12 major cities.
Patients looking to get a Botox shot for wrinkles typically only had to wait an average of eight days.
But the survey found it takes about 26 days to have a mole checked for skin cancer.
Researchers suspect financial incentives may be the reason for the difference in wait times.
