Your Guide to Skin Cancer With Case Illustrations
Are you concerned about a lump on your face that has been bleeding? Do you find that your skin is still getting burned even if you use sunscreen? Are you unsure of your child's moles- whether they are normal, should you get them checked? And what about the scaly sores on your fathers scalp that seem to be increasing? Have you had a friend or heard of a young person who has died from malignant melanoma?
