@dr.mamina: Skin checks are your cancer screening BFF! One of the most common things I hear from patients who have to get cancerous or pre-cancerous moles removed is that they wish they had seen a derm sooner. So this is your sign to book that appointment. 📅 🤝 Anyone qualifies for a skin check but here are factors that put someone at higher risk for getting skin cancer: if you have a personal or family history of melanoma if you used a tanning bed more than 10 times if you ever had a blistering sunburn, especially as a child if your immune system is compromised if you have a history of any other kind of cancer if you have the combo package of very fair skin, blue eyes, & red hair Have you gotten your skin checked this year? 😉 Stitch with @teamarianaluterman
