May is Melanoma Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month! Skin cancer warning signs include changes in size, shape or color of a mole or other skin lesion, the appearance of a new growth on the skin, or a sore that doesn’t heal. If you notice any spots on your skin that are different from the others, or anything changing, itching or bleeding, it is recommended that you make an appointment with your physician or dermatologist.

Regular skin checks play an important role in early detection and treatment of skin cancers. Learn more about skin cancer risk factors, signs and symptoms and how to complete a self-check of your skin at the Rogel Cancer Center. In addition, the American Academy of Dermatology provides a listing of Free Spot Me Skin Cancer Screenings events being hosted elsewhere in Michigan and throughout the nation.
