THE IMPORTANCE OF ROUTINE SKIN EXAMS

The primary purpose of routine skin screenings is to detect and prevent skin cancer. Nearly 1.5 million people in the United States are diagnosed each year with skin cancer and early detection is key. One person dies an hour of melanoma in the world, and early detection by having an exam by an expert can lead to early detection. Over 68,000 are diagnosed with melanoma annually. The most important means of detecting a melanoma is regular skin checks. Self-exams monthly, evaluating moles for the ABCDEs, as well as an annual skin examination, are the keys to the early detection of melanoma.
