Keeping your skin healthy

The chances of recovery from skin cancer are directly linked to the depth of the malignancy, making early detection absolutely crucial.

Self-examination of the skin

A self-exam is recommended every two months. After showering, stand in a well-lit room in front of a large mirror and carefully check your skin for any changes. Examine your entire body—front and back—including raised arms, hands, feet, nails, and even less visible areas like the genitals.

If you notice any changes in the size, shape, feel, or color of a mole, or if you have skin wounds that bleed, secrete, or do not heal, it’s important to see a dermatologist as soon as possible.

Routine examination by a dermatologist

An annual visit to a dermatologist is recommended for a routine mole examination. A dermatologist can identify early signs of skin cancer, provide treatment for skin conditions, and detect other potential concerns. Additionally, if you notice any changes in a mole’s color, shape, or size, seeking a professional evaluation is essential.
