A skin cancer self-examination is the first step in prevention of skin cancer and it is vitally important that you be as accurate in your self-exam as possible.

Skin self-exam means checking your own skin regularly for any abnormal growths or unusual changes. A skin self-exam helps find any suspicious skin problems early. The earlier skin cancer is diagnosed, the better chance you will have for a cure.

Eight skin cancer self-examination tips:

1. Examine your face, especially the nose, lips, mouth, and ears – front and back. Use one or both mirrors to get a clear view.

2. Thoroughly inspect your scalp, using a blow dryer and mirror to expose each section to view. Get a friend or family member to help if you can.

3. Check your hands carefully; palms and backs, between the fingers and under fingernails. Continue up the wrists to examine both the front and backs of your forearms.

4. Standing in front of a full length mirror, begin at the elbows and scan all sides of your upper arms. Don’t forget the underarms.

5. Next focus on the neck, chest, and torso. Women should lift breasts to view the underside.

6. With your back to the full length mirror, use a handheld mirror to inspect the back of your neck, shoulders, upper back, and any part of the back of your arms you could not view in step 5.

7. Still using both mirrors, scan your lower back, buttocks, and the backs of both legs.

8. Sit down; prop each leg in turn on another stool or chair. Use the handheld mirror to examine the genitals and mucosal area. Check the front and sides of both legs, thigh to shin; ankles, tops of feet, between toes and under toenails. Examine soles of feet and heels.

If anything looks suspicious contact your physician immediately.

Always tell your doctor if:

• You have any new or unusual sores or spots on your skin
• A mole or skin lesion changes in size, color, or texture
• You have a sore that does not heal

About SIMSYS-MoleMate
The FDA approved SIMSYS-MoleMate Skin Imaging System, a non-invasive skin cancer screening procedure, is a significant advance in the early detection of potentially life threatening moles and lesions.

Physicians have found the SIMSYS-MoleMate Siascope hand-held device easy to learn and use, and that it rapidly provides accurate images of the pigment, blood, and collagen below the mole or lesion.

Now, for the first time, physicians can more accurately evaluate suspicious moles and lesions in a non-invasive, pain-free way. Experts also believe it may reduce the need for time consuming and expensive biopsies.
