Friday June 10, 2005
Examining your skin on a regular basis can help detect skin cancer early. The earlier it is detected, the better of the chance of it being cured! When examining your skin, look for changes in moles, or the presence of new spots. Using the ABCDE Rule, take notice of any changes. Report any suspicious spots to your doctor! Better to be safe than sorry!
