I’m a GP with a specialism in dermatology. The appointments that stay with me aren’t the dramatic ones — they’re the ones where somebody nearly didn’t come. Skin cancer found early is among the most treatable there is, and it’s nearly always the patient, not the doctor, who notices first.
So this is the routine I’d give my own family: short enough to actually happen, calm enough that checking your skin doesn’t become worrying about it.
