Are You at Risk of Skin Cancer?

The risk of developing melanoma is exceptionally high in individuals with:

  • More than 50 common moles
  • Atypical mole syndrome: more than 100 moles, among which one or more looks abnormal
  • Familial atypical multiple mole melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome: condition inherited from a member of the family who has melanoma. An individual has many moles, some of which may look abnormal.
