The "Skin Cancer is Color Blind" educational campaign was developed as an ASDS Future Leaders Network project by Arash Koochek, MD, MPH. The patients only consented to their photos being used for this program and should not be reproduced.

Skin cancer is one of the few cancers that can be caught with a careful self-exam.

Skin cancer can occur anywhere on the skin. In people of color, skin cancer often occurs in areas that are protected from the sun, such as the palms of the hands, the bottom of the feet, under and around fingernails and toenails, inside the mouth, on the groin or genitals or between the buttocks.

Please note: These patients only gave consent for their photos to be used for the ASDS Skin Cancer is Color Blind program.
