Happy 2024! A new year is a great time to prioritize ways you can improve your health and life. Hopefully, keeping your skin safe and healthy is one of your goals.
Check yourself: First, open your calendar and schedule 10 minutes each month to perform a skin self-exam. It’s simple and could save your life. If you see something new, changing or unusual, be sure to get it checked right away! When identified and treated early, skin cancers are usually curable.
Check our self-exam tips, learn about the warning signs of skin cancer and take a look at our website to find out what to look for.
See a professional: Next, contact your dermatologist and schedule your annual skin exam.
It might take a while to get an appointment, so now is the time to act. If you don’t have a dermatologist, use our tool to locate one of our member dermatologists near you.
Protect your skin: Make skin cancer prevention a part of your daily routine,
year-round.
