Skin Cancer Self-Check Guide

Stand in  front of a mirror and check your whole body from head to toe, front, back and  sides.

Lift your arms and check the back of your upper arms, and your forearms. Don’t forget you hands including your palms, between your fingers and under your finger nails.

Sit down and check the front, back and sides of your legs. Then check your feet including the soles, in between the toes and under your toenails.

Use a hand mirror to check your face, neck, ears and scalp. Make sure you check your entire scalp, using a comb to part your hair.

Lastly, check your lower back and buttocks using the hand mirror. Consider asking a family member or friends to examine areas you can’t see yourself.
