This is so TRUE!
Very powerful message that cannot be shared enough.

Just a reminder as our weather changes: your risk of skin cancer does not disappear with our chillier fall and winter seasons! The sun is still out there, even if it’s hiding behind the clouds or not as obvious.
PLUS, the aftermath of any sunburns or tanning you experienced over the summer may present now, when you least expect it 😔
Cover up, wear sunscreen, & check your skin 🙏

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🦃 Wishing you a safe and relaxing long weekend 🍁🧡
😅 Yes it may be kind of gross to some people but it’s IMPORTANT! Take pics of your moles so you can do a better job of monitoring for changes! Evolution can be difficult to detect without taking photos and you may notice other features of your moles that weren’t obvious to you before. Remember 👉🏽ABCDEF
Take photos in a well-lighted area and with good resolution 💡Add the location of the mole on your body, i.e. mid-back left side, right hamstring outer side - or whatever makes sense to you. It’s hard to keep track of where all your moles are. You can consider using a “body mole map” - there are lots of options out there if you Google this.
Numerous apps also exist to help you track your moles, such as CompariSkin, Miiskin, MoleScope and MoleMapper, to name a few.
Just remember that NO app is better than an assessment by a physician 👩🏻⚕️🔎
