The Skin Nerd: When was the last time you checked your moles?

We all have moles, but do you know how to check them? Jennifer Rock guides you through it. 

Skin Nerd: When was the last time you checked your moles?

Brown, black, raised, large, small – who knew moles came in so many unique forms! Just like our skin, it’s so important that we protect our moles and not just in the summertime or when it is hot - even if it’s the depth of winter or you are caught in a hailstorm. Using an SPF that protects against UV rays is essential for every skin every single day of the year. Therefore, this week and as we get closer to Melanoma awareness month, I feel like it’s my nerdie duty to educate on the importance of moles and sun safety. Most moles are completely harmless, but it's important to be vigilant and understand what to look out for when checking moles for anything unusual.
