Skin Cancer Self Exam

Skin cancer can be a big deal. Checking for it isn’t. Self-exams are not meant to diagnose or replace visits with your doctor. If you notice one or more of the ABCDE’s of melanoma, please speak to your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
HOW TO DETECT MELANOMA
Survival rate for melanoma is high if detected early and unlike other cancers, melanoma is often clearly visible on the skin. Use the ABCDE’s of melanoma to check your skin monthly, if you detect any changes to your moles, contact your doctor for a referral to a dermatologist. Visit melanomacanada.ca/understandi...
