What
to Look For
Dermatologists call this the the "ABCD"
procedure. Once a month, examine your
body for moles and dark spots looking
for the changes noted below. Other unusual
skin changes may indicate melanoma include
bleeding or ulceration of a mole.
If you see these skin changes, they
could be early warning signs melanoma
or other skin cancer. You should see
your health care professional as soon
as possible. Remember, these skin changes
do not necessary mean skin cancer.
Just get them checked out. A biopsy
might be necessary for definitive diagnosis.
Examining
All Parts of Your Body
The most thorough self-exam you can
perform utilizes a a full-length mirror
and a hand mirror in a well-lighted
room. You may require the assistance
of a friend or relative to conduct the
exam.
