(One of the best protections again skin cancer is to examine your skin regularly. Here are some tips on what to look for, courtesy of the Skin Cancer Foundation:

• Look for any darkened patches of skin, irregular or new moles, or any other new growths.

  Conduct your examination in a well-lit room.
• Examine your head and scalp using a mirror. Use a hair dryer to move hair out of the way for a better view of your scalp.
• Check hands, fingers and fingernails. Using a full-length mirror, examine your forearms, elbows, underarms and biceps.
• Women should check on and around their breasts; everyone should check their chest, neck, shoulders, back and abdomen.
• Sit down to examine the tops and bottoms of the feet, and your toes. – (HealthDayNews)
