PREVENTION & SCREENING PREVENTION & SCREENING

The best way to prevent MELANOMA is to stay out of the sun at noon, to use sunscreens regularly, to have a monthly skin self-exam, to check with your dermatologist immediately, if a suspicious skin spot scares you, and to avoid any unnecessary UV radiation exposure during vacation or by using UV sunbeds for the purpose of tanning. If you bear plenty of moles, you are at increased risk, and should be even more careful and self-protective.
