Skin Plushie - In The Flesh - Plush Organ Dermis Stuffed Toy Pillow - I Heart Guts Plush Organs

Did you know your skin is the largest organ on the body? This month put some extra focus on nourishing your skin -- summer is just around the corner! 

How do I check for skin cancer? It's all in the moles! 

Just remember your ABCDEs : Asymmetrical: when one side of your mole is not like the other, get it checked. Border: if your moles have irregular borders, get them checked. Colorful: if you mole is spotted with several colors, get them... you know. Diameter: if your mole is bigger than a pencil eraser, see your derm. Evolving: when your mole changes shape, size or color, get to the dermatologist!

Our skin character gifts are great for an educational dermatology gift, cute skin cell plush, histology study tool or a plushie to squeeze as your loved one navigates skin cancer. 

Get your doctor or dermatologist an educational poster on how to self examine for skin cancer or maybe some lapel skin pins for their badge reel!
