I read the link provided by Coleen Young which was the one right before my question. I did not watch the video to see if the advise was repeated there

I see @colleenyoung’s link to Mayo Clinic hematologist, Sameer Parikh, M.B.B.S. The video is well worth watching for new CLL patients, and explains why patients with CLL or any blood cancers should see a dermatologist.
When we have a blood cancer, we are at a greater risk for skin cancers because our immune systems are weakened.
If diagnosed with CLL or a blood cancer, it’s likely patients have already been seen or are actively in treatment with a hematologist. A dermatologist becomes an important part of the healthcare team…they are anyway, but even more so with cancer patients.
Does this help explain why it’s been suggested to see a dermatologist in the article?
