A comprehensive skin check involves a systematic approach:
1. Visual Inspection: Examine the entire body, paying special attention to high-risk areas such as bony prominences, skin folds, and areas exposed to moisture. 2. Palpation: Use your hands to feel for any abnormalities such as lumps, temperature changes, or variations in texture. 3. Documentation: Record any findings meticulously, including the size, color, and location of any lesions or irregularities. 4. Patient History: Consider the patient's medical history, lifestyle, and any existing conditions that may affect skin health.
