Skin Cancer Signs, Symptoms and Self-Exam

In this short video, Dr. Brian Lawenda (Northwest Cancer Clinic, Kennewick, WA) discusses signs and symptoms of the 3 most common types of skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas and melanoma). Everyone should do a monthly skin self-examination, and you'll see how this is done. Even during the pandemic, if you notice anything concerning, contact your PCP or dermatology specialist right away. Many of them are doing telehealth visits, and will be able to let you know if you need to come into their office or be referred for further evaluation.
