ROSEMONT, Ill., May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, 69-year-old Isabel Lievano's board-certified dermatologist diagnosed the persistent black spot under her nail as melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. Though she lost her nail, she was thrilled that her dermatologist was able to save her finger and her life. Today, Isabel is a strong advocate for skin self-exams.

Key Points: 
  • "Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States.
  • "Checking your skin can help catch skin cancer early when it's highly treatable.
  • If you have darker skin, skin cancer is more likely to develop in areas that aren't exposed to the sun, such as under or around your nails, palms, or soles.
  • You should also check your skin for signs of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common type of skin cancer, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), a type of skin cancer that grows slowly and deeply.
