Thursday, May 18 is the state check your skin day in Oregon.
This is a day that is set up to remind you that you should be checking your own skin and make a monthly habit out of checking. This is a great way that you can help catch things early, and hopefully before they become large health issues.
For more information on performing a self exam of the skin, you can check out the great information that is on

They are the group that is sponsoring the state wide check you skin day.
Remember, it doesn't require a special day to check your skin, but this is a great way that you can jump start a new routine focused on awareness and prevention.
