How should you do a skin self examination?

To perform a skin self-examination, start by finding a well-lit area and using a full-length mirror. Inspect your entire body, including hard-to-see areas like your back, scalp, and between your toes, using a hand mirror as needed. Look for any new moles, changes in existing moles, or unusual growths, focusing on asymmetry, irregular borders, color variation, diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or any changes in size, shape, or color. It's advisable to conduct this examination monthly and consult a healthcare professional if you notice any concerning changes.
