7. Swelling
Any mole that develops redness or a swelling beyond the border should be checked out by a dermatologist. There might be swelling without the redness, or the skin surrounding the mole might turn red but not swell. Any changes like this should be investigated — even if the mole itself has not changed.

Additional Tips:
- Avoid the strongest sunlight during the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
- Avoid UV tanning beds.
- If you fall into the high risk categories, have your doctor or dermatologist check your entire body for signs of skin cancer.
- Get your safe sunlight exposure for vitamin D, but avoid getting sunburned.
- Wear sunscreen and long-sleeved clothing with hats and sunglasses if you will be out in the sun during its peak hours.
- Enjoy time in the shade.
- Examine your skin head to toe at least three times a year. A partner is helpful in this endeavor to check your back, the back of your neck, the head, buttocks, and back of the legs.
Be sure to show your doctor any spots or changes in your skin as soon as possible. Your best defense is early detection.
