should do a full-body self-evaluation every month to
check for signs of skin cancer.3

Warning signs include:

Skin Cancer

Each year there are more new cases

of skin cancer than breast, prostate,
lung, and colon cancers combined.1
People who have had an organ
transplant are much more likely to
develop squamous cell carcinoma,
the second most common form on
skin cancer.1

A skin growth that changes in size and is an

unusual color; it may be black, brown, tan,
translucent, or even multiple colors3

A spot or sore that does not seem to be healing3

Moles, birthmarks, or other brown spots that:

-Have an uneven outline3

Use a sunscreen that protects

against UVA and UVB radiation, SPF
30 or higher.2

Check your hands; including the backs

and between fingers

4. Using a large mirror, look at your

arms, elbows, and underarms.

5. Move downwards, checking all areas of

the chest.

6. Using two mirrors, or a partner, look at

your back, shoulders, and the back of your
neck.
7. Scan the backs of your legs and lower
back.
