Is Your Skin Healthy?

When Jacqueline Mills noticed a new mole on her face, she trusted her instincts—even after her concerns were initially dismissed. Her persistence led to an early melanoma diagnosis and became a powerful reminder of how speaking up and seeking a second opinion can make all the difference.

In this episode of Road to Resilience, Jacqueline shares her story; she is followed by the Mount Sinai dermatologist who discovered her melanoma, Dr. Jesse Lewin, who expands the conversation to what everyone should know about skin health. 

Together, they discuss the warning signs of skin cancer, the ABCDEs of melanoma, smart sun protection, advances in early detection and imaging technology, and why the future of dermatologic care has never been brighter.

Whether you're heading to the beach or simply taking a closer look in the mirror, this conversation will leave you better equipped to protect your skin—and yourself.
