Detecting skin cancer early: Pay attention to your moles. Pay particular attention to changes in the arms, legs, between the fingers, toes, the soles of the feet and on the scalp.

It could be skin cancer if an existing mole changes its size, color or shape....a skin mole begins to itch or bleed. If you experience specific signs or symptoms, see a doctor as soon as possible. Skin cancer screening in 2008 means that more cases are detected earlier and better.
