The Washington Post reported that First Lady Laura Bush had a skin cancer tumor removed last fall. Her story reminds me that we all should be aware of skin health - whether we live in the White House or not.
I have extremely fair skin - and therefore a high risk of developing melanoma. how often should i have my skin examined? I've heard once a year, but I've also heard you should get a skin exam at the end of each summer. Does anyone have advice?
