Doctor David Pascoe, a Dermatologist at Skin and Cancer Associates in Tallahassee, advises to get a detailed head to toe skin check up by an expert at least once in a year.

He says that you should also check out your skin at home and observe if any mole, or nevi, which doesn't appears "right".

David Pascoe, M. D., F. A. A. D, said, "There are some people who have very atypical nevi, multiple colors, large jagged boarders, and it's the very small, new spot that's just a couple millimeters that's black and different from the rest that can be melanoma".

Skin Cancer Foundation says that every year, around two million people will be informed that they have skin cancer and almost 86-hundred of those detected with melanoma, will die from it.

Most of all skin cancers, and mutations in melanoma, are due to ultraviolet or U-V radiation, that you can find nearly everywhere.

That’s the reason why Shelly Griffin, the holder of Wolff Tan in Tallahassee, says that awareness regarding U-V is so imperative.

Griffin said that UV is UV. We have UVA that is our tanning ray and UVB, which is our burning ray.

Dr. Pascoe and Griffin recommend the use of sunblock while going out in the natural sun.
