“If you notice any new spots on your skin, any spots that look different from the rest, or any spots that are changing, itching or bleeding, see a board-certified dermatologist,” says AAD President Suzanne M. Olbricht, MD, FAAD. “Dermatologists have the expertise to accurately diagnose melanoma and provide patients with the highest-quality care.”
