mole check
Dermatologist examines spots
A mole check is a medical examination where a dermatologist inspects the skin for suspicious moles or lesions that might indicate melanoma or other skin cancers.
Regular mole checks are recommended for people with many moles, fair skin, or family history of skin cancer: I schedule a mole check every year.
