When you do your full body self skin exam, it is important to know what to look for. The bottom line is that anything that you are unsure of should be examined closely by a physician. If it has grown, changed color, was bleeding, itchy, or you (or a friend/family member) just don’t have a good feeling about it - get it checked out!!
To help you get an idea of some of the things that a physician is looking for, we have provided this interactive animation. Please keep in mind, that these are only some of the things we are looking for - and we strongly recommend to all of our patients a full body skin exam at least once per year with a physician, and more often if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer.
