In other words, if someone in your family had skin cancer, chances are higher that you will, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the state of your skin health is a direct correlation with your overall health. For example, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/a-z\/diabetes-warning-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patient with diabetes<\/a>&nbsp;is at higher risk for skin infections or skin lesions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may seem like our medical form is long and extensive, but it is extremely valuable to your doctor.
