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 starts to itch or bleed. Those insured by statutory health insurance companies are entitled to a skin screening every two years for the early detection of skin cancer from the age of 35.
