All in all, even though trying to get skin-care has been a very difficult experience for many people, there are many new and exciting programs being developed to make it much more accessible. WH encourages you when you schedule an appointment to choose your words carefully in order to make sure you are seen in an appropriate amount of time. Mentioning your concern that your spot may be melanoma can drastically change the way your appointment is handled. Do not let your concerns be ignored.

Thank you so much to the Women’s Health Team for the hard work and dedication put into this investigation! And a huge thank you to all the doctors and researchers for helping them gather this crucial information!
