"
A lot of
patients don't
have sufficient
knowledge to be
confident in their
skin self-exams.
However, patients
are receptive to
receiving this
information.
Physicians can
give patients the
tools they need.
Then follow up on
a regular basis to
make sure they get
the message from
their physician that
this is important."
