'I had my moles checked for cancer and this is what you need to know' I had my skin checked to see if there were any possible signs that I could have skin cancer and learned about some signs and symptoms I thought were normal but that could actually indicate cancer.
It's easy to keep an eye on the mole on my wrist but of course it's pretty hard to keep an eye on the moles which are located in areas like my scalp and back.
One thing, of many, I took away from the clinic which is pretty crucial is that if you have what looks like an injury to your nails - whether it's on your finger or toe - keep an eye on it, especially if you don't remember hitting it.
I knew I had a few moles already on my wrist and my head, however I didn't know I had some on my back and foot so what I assumed to be freckles were actually moles.
Angela showed me a sign of what is normal and what's not and it turns out skin cancer can even show up as a mark on your fingernails and toenails.
