III. Prevention of Moles:
Use sunscreen daily on
exposed skin areas.
If you have a family member who has had a melanoma and you have atypical moles, you should have a complete skin exam each year.
People with many atypical moles should have a complete skin exam each year. You should also check your own moles once a month. If one mole seems to be changing more than your other moles or is marching out of step with your other moles it should be removed immediately by a plastic surgeon.
