Yes, but this has nothing to do with me treating myself. One does not need a medical degree to spot the warning signs (symptoms). Perhaps the fool is one who has never bothered to learn the difference between a regular mole and something that may be problematic.

Often, the first sign of melanoma is a change in the size, shape, or color of an existing mole. (In some cases it may not be a mole but a sore spot that doesn't heal.)

I still recommend regular check-ups for high risk people.
