LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. There’s an important annual check-up children are likely not getting — a skin check-up.

Melanoma, a potentially disease typically related to genetics and sun exposure, is possible at all ages and parents need to make sure it gets caught early.

Dr. Aurora Badia, a pediatric dermatologist, is offering free exams for children 18 and younger on June 10 at the Florida Skin Care Center on Williams Avenue.
