Monitoring Your Skin
Examine your skin monthly by following the directions below to keep track of any
changes in your skin. Perform your skin self-exam in a bright room with a
full-length mirror and a hand mirror. To begin, remove all of your clothing,
and then follow these steps.
- A rough, pink or red, scaly patch or bump
- A small, shiny bump or patch that is red, pink, or white
- A patch of skin or mole that becomes itchy, tender, or painful or bleeds
- An asymmetrical, multicolored mole with irregular or blurred borders
- A mole that gets bigger or changes color, shape, or border
- Sores, blemishes that don’t go away
For more information or to schedule an appointment, call the office 242-8790 in
Viera or 674-9094 in Melbourne.
