Skin exams are important for everyone. Talk with your health care provider about how often you need a skin exam.
You may need one more often if you have an increased risk of skin cancer. You have an increased risk if you have had skin cancer before, have a family history of skin cancer, or have a weakened immune system.
Skin self-exams are very important if you're at risk for skin cancer. Get to know the pattern of moles, blemishes, freckles, and other marks on your skin. Any new moles or changes in existing moles should be checked by your health care provider right away.
