Would You Know Skin Cancer If You Saw It?

Skin cancer is sneaky, and not because it doesn't give fair warning. An early and curable cancer can usually be spotted, but often you never see it (it's hiding on the back of your upper thigh), or you dismiss it as just another freckle. Sure, you've heard the "changing color, ragged edges" litany many times, but do you know exactly what that looks like on your own skin?

Time for some show-and-tell. Now - when you're still wearing your shorts and flip-flops and showing more skin than usual - is the perfect time to see whether you can spot skin cancer.
