How To Examine Yourself For Skin Cancer

How can I examine myself for skin cancer?

I think the most important thing to do is to examine yourself for skin cancer on some sort of routine basis. I tell most of my patients the easiest time to do it is at the beginning of every month, right after their shower. Take a look at your front in a mirror and then get a hand mirror to try and look at your back. If you have a partner in the house, having them look at your back is perhaps equally effective. The reason why it's so important to examine yourself for skin cancer and look at yourself once a month is, as I tell my patients, "You're a movie and I'm a snapshot." So, I can only see things when they're brought in to me, but patients can see things as they change.
