At Summit Dermatology in Medford, OR, we encourage patients to practice routine mole monitoring and schedule annual full-body skin exams. These simple steps can lead to early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers when they’re most treatable.

If you've ever wondered whether a mole is “normal” or potentially dangerous, this guide will help you understand what to look for—and when to get it checked by a board-certified dermatologist.
