Friends Have High Success Rate in Finding Each Other's Melanomas

Andy Cohen recently thanked Kelly Ripa on an episode of Live! after she spotted a suspicious-looking black dot on his lip, and repeatedly insisted that he get checked out. Cohen finally relented and saw a doctor—and discovered it was a melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. The study, published in the JAMA Dermatology journal found that potential skin cancer lesions and suspicious-looking moles were spotted more easily when people used a partner who had been trained to do skin checks.
