How often are you looking at your skin? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. You should do a thorough skin evaluation on yourself at least once a year. Make sure someone else is also checking those hard to see places, like your back. Believe it or not, 70,000 people are diagnosed with melanoma each year right here in the United States. When looking at moles, notice any changes, irregular borders, the color of the mole, and the size. Talk to your doctor about the moles you have and don’t assume they are nothing to worry about. If caught early, skin cancers can be removed and the cancer can be stopped. Also, be sure to use SPF 30 when out in the sun and use it year round, not just in the summer months. Furthermore, avoid tanning beds. No tan is worth your life. Staying Young and staying healthy is easier than you think.
