Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Anne M. Chapas

Sourced directly from Dr. Anne M. Chapas's social posts and replies.

What are the risks associated with tattoos and skin health?
Tattoo ink can deposit in the skin and travel to lymph nodes, potentially causing inflammation and triggering lymphoma. The deposition of ink in the skin can also potentially lead to primary skin cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma can arise within tattoos, particularly those with red ink. Dr. Chapas advises caution regarding tattoos, especially for high-risk individuals.

What should people with a history of skin cancer or many moles consider before getting a tattoo?
If you have a history of skin cancer, consider the size of the tattoo you are planning to get. If you have many moles, ensure a tattoo does not obscure areas that need to be monitored, especially for non-melanoma skin cancer. High-risk individuals with many moles and a history of skin cancer should be cautious about the number and size of tattoos, and how much they obscure the skin.

How dangerous is melanoma?
Melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer, but it is less common than other types. It can grow very quickly and, if not caught and treated early, can spread quickly throughout the body. Early-stage melanomas are almost universally curable, while later-stage melanomas are much more difficult to treat and potentially deadly.

How often should I see a dermatologist for a skin check?
Dr. Chapas recommends seeing a dermatologist once a year for a head-to-toe skin check.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$12,804

Payments

22

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Anne M. Chapas received $12,804 across 22 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as consulting fee, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
