At RefinedMD many patients ask whether they really need a yearly mole check, especially if they have never had a concerning spot before. The answer is yes, because skin cancer often develops quietly and can be easily missed without a professional eye. An annual mole exam gives you a baseline understanding of your skin so that changes, even subtle ones, can be detected early. This is particularly important before spring break, when more time outdoors increases sun exposure and the potential for UV-related damage.
