Currently, there are no recommended guidelines for skin cancer screening; however, at Orlando Health, we highly encourage performing a skin examination once a month. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Notably, skin cancer also is the easiest cancer to identify and can be treated with minimally invasive procedures when discovered early on. Living in "The Sunshine State" increases all of our risks for developing skin cancer, so always protect yourself in the sun and check your skin regularly for new moles, freckles, spots and other irregularities.
