Skin Self-Examination
Skin self-examination is a simple process where individuals check their skin for any unusual changes or growths. This practice helps in early detection of skin issues, including skin cancer. It involves looking for new moles, changes in existing moles, or any unusual spots that may appear on the skin.
To perform a skin self-examination, find a well-lit area and use a full-length mirror. Examine your body systematically, starting from your head and moving down to your toes. Pay attention to areas that are often overlooked, such as the back, scalp, and between the toes. Regular self-examinations can lead to early intervention and better outcomes.
