How to Look for Melanoma






  • Examine your body front and back in the mirror, then right and left sides with arms raised.
  • Bend your elbows and carefully look at your palms, forearms, and under your upper arms.
  • Look at the backs of your legs and feet, the spaces between your toes, and the soles of your feet.
  • Examine the back of your neck and scalp with a hand mirror. Part your hair for a closer look.
