So my new Favorite thing is the Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer, it's a really good moisturizer and gives just a little bit of colour. I just got back from the dermatologist and she advised strongly that I stay out of the sun, I have these moles on my back and stomach that have the potential to turn into melanoma. So no more sun for me... the Moisturizer gives U just a little colour so you look like your kissed by the sun, I love it!!!!! Give it a try you'll like it too, oh and there are different shades for 3 different skin types.

Yeah Chris doesn't like the smell too much either.... says I stink when I go to bed..lol
No matter what steps are taken to reduce sun or tanning exposure, the most important thing is to find potential melanoma lesions early while removal can be a cure. People at high risk (especially if you have already had a melanoma) need to follow their skin closely. The traditional ABCD criteria can help guide risk assessment. A, for asymmetric lesions; B for moles with irregular Borders; C, for colors in the lesion; and D, for diameter greater than the tip of an eraser.
More recently physicians have recognized the importance of moles that are new or getting larger in predicting high risk lesions. They have now added E for enlargement to the criteria and many recommend following the ABCDE’s. Having reliable information on whether a mole is changing increases the specificity of the skin exam and could therefore reduce the over-diagnosis of suspicious lesions.
Although dermatologists almost always ask if you have any new or changing moles most people cannot accurately answer that question (particularly those with numerous moles and the greatest risk). One way to approach this problem for people at high risk is to use Total Body Photography to document the moles on your body. However, this is an expensive procedure (often costing $400-$600) that most insurance providers will not cover.
There is now an inexpensive software program that allows people to use their own digital cameras at home to take their own body images at different time intervals (maximizing privacy). The images can be scaled and aligned and compared using a personal computer to allow for the efficient recognition of new or growing moles. This software was developed from funding provided by the National Cancer Institute and can be obtained by going to the website www.dermalert.com
Hey...if you like the Jergins, you will like the Aveeno version even more...it has a nicer smell and does not come off on your cloths as easily.
Good info, thanks Brian... I'm gonna try the Aveeno one, cause Chris thinks it's smells yucky. :)
