Skin Checks
When was the last time you checked your own skin for possible skin cancer?
I look, but I have no idea what to look for. I have had skin cancer twice, and both times I had no idea. The second time, the doctor said didn’t you see that mole? Yes, I saw it, but I’m not trained to see the distinctions between normal and abnormal. I have read the basic guidelines for detecting skin cancer, but I’m not sure it would be of much assistance to me. If I see changes, I would be alerted. Otherwise, not so sure. I completely understand! Checking your own skin can be overwhelming. I am sharing an article with you that explains what to watch for when examining your own skin.

It's come in handy several times for me. Hang in there and keep being proactive! April, SkinCancer.net, Moderator
