Examine your skin regularly
After bathing or showering is a convenient time. Examine your body, front and back, in bright light using a hand mirror and full-length mirror. Inspect your scalp, behind your ears and your genitals. Women should check under their breasts. Don’t forget your legs, feet and toes. It may help to get someone to take photos of your back periodically, so you can compare moles and check for changes.
