Skin cancer is one of the many types of cancer a person can suffer from. Today, the number of cases of skin cancer is escalating at a high speed in the United States of America. With some knowledge of skin cancer, it is possible to control skin cancer at the first signs of skin cancer.
It is important to have your skin examined if you find some suspicious moles or skin lesions on your skin. People having a history of previous skin cancer, a family of people suffering from skin cancer or 50 or more moles have to have their skin examined. Though atypical moles or dysplastic nevi are not cancerous, some are. So have them examined if you find them on your body.
Basically, the early signs of skin cancer include changes in the skin like irritations, sores that don’t heal and growth or change in the wart or mole. There is a rule of detection for skin cancer by the American Cancer Society that should be followed for detecting signs of skin cancer. Asymmetry in the mole where one half does not match the other, moles that grow larger than 6 mm should be of concern, changes in skin pigmentation and color distribution and ragged, notched or blurred borders are all considered early signs of skin cancer. Consult the doctor if you find any of these signs on your body.
The other changes in a mole include the changes you find in the elevation of the mole like thickening and raising of mole that was originally flat, changes in the surface like oozing, bleeding and crusting and different sensations like itching, tingling or burning. Changes in consistency of the mole or its surrounding skin are also considered signs of skin cancer. Besides changes in moles in your body, there are other signs you have to look out for to detect signs of skin cancer.
Telangietasias or firm and transparent bumps that are laced with tiny blood vessels in thin red lines and reddish or irritated patches of skin are signs of cancer. In addition to this, open sores that ooze and bleed and crusts that don’t heal for 3 weeks should be investigated. Persistent red bumps on exposed skin and new smooth skin bumps having raised borders with an indented center should not be ignored. If you find a sore that does not heal or thickened skin on the lower lip because of smoking or chewing tobacco, or because of over-exposure of your lips to the sun and wind can all be signs of skin cancer.
It is better to check your skin every month for signs or changes in your skin, and have periodical checks by the doctor. And if you have suffered from skin cancer before, go for frequent examinations to be on the safe side.
