I took my 7-year-old daughter in to see my dermatologist just for a routine skin check. She'd never been to a dermatologist before, but because she has a few moles, I thought it would be a good idea to have a baseline established in case any of her moles start to change as she gets older.

Every year in the United States, about 1 million people are diagnosed with nonmelanoma skin cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. Developing these tumors is known to increase the risk for melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. But the link between skin cancer and cancers at other body sites is just beginning to be explored.
