Depending on your skin type. If you're fair skinned, and if you have any/many moles. Take note if they've changed size. They may check out any moles larger than a pencil eraser.

They will likely ask you questions about lifestyle and habits. Exercise, smoking, family status, stress levels, job situation - things that affect your stress and your emotional health. I personally especially want Thyroid (TSH and T3,T4) Hormone levels checked, and Iron/Anemia test done because I and my family have a history of problems in those areas. Also because I'm fair skinned they will check any moles that are larger than a pencil eraser. They have found moles that would have turned dangerous if not removed. At your age, depending on your skin type and how much you tan/have tanned, you should keep an eye on that.
