Video Summary

The UNM School of Medicine is hosting free skin cancer screening clinics on May 10th at UNM Hospital Dermatology Clinic in Albuquerque and UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center in Rio Rancho. No insurance or appointments are needed. Dermatologist Dr. Nikifor Konstantinov will be available to examine concerning skin spots using a dermatoscope. The ABCDEs of melanoma (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving) are discussed to help identify potential melanomas. These screenings aim to provide peace of mind and promote skin health awareness, though many benign spots might share some ABCDE characteristics. Sunscreen use and skin monitoring are encouraged.
