Tip of the the Week
Check Out Your Birthday Suit
When it comes to the health of your skin, it's a good idea to be proactive and keep an eye out for dangerous moles. In addition to limiting your exposure to sunlight and using sunscreens, examining yourself for moles can reduce your chances of developing melanoma (cancer), or allow early detection and treatment.
If you or a close relative have moles, you should examine your body once a month. Most moles are benign (non-cancerous). The only moles that are of medical concern are those that look different than other existing moles or those that first appear after age 20. If you notice changes in a mole's color or appearance, have a dermatologist, a doctor who treats disorders of the skin, evaluate it. You also should have moles checked if they bleed, ooze, itch, appear scaly, or become tender or painful.
What should I look for when examining my moles?
Examine your skin with a mirror. Pay close attention to areas of your skin that are often exposed to the sun, such as the hands, arms, chest, and head. If your moles do not change over time, you don't have to be concerned.
The following ABCDEs are important signs of moles that could be cancerous. If a mole displays any of the signs listed below, have it checked immediately by a dermatologist:
- Asymmetry - One half of the mole does not match the other half.
- Border - The border or edges of the mole are ragged, blurred, or irregular.
- Color - The mole has different colors, or it has shades of tan, brown, black, blue, white, or red.
- Diameter - The diameter of the mole is larger than the pencil eraser.
