Signs that indicate skin cancerSigns that indicate skin cancer
The most dangerous areas that require special attention and regular inspection are:
Feet and hands: Melanoma in these areas is particularly aggressive and is often diagnosed late due to its abnormal location.
Scalp: It is difficult for a person to notice changes on their own, so it is advisable to have someone else help them with periodic check-ups.
Men's backs: The back of a man is the most common site for melanoma to appear, and it is difficult for a man to monitor it individually.
Under the nails: Subungual melanoma often disguises itself as a hematoma , appearing as a dark line along the nail.
Warning signs that require a doctor's visit:
The mole has changed over the last three months.
The appearance of a new mole after the age of thirty.
Bleeding without any trauma.
Itching, pain, or inflammation around the mole.
Doctors indicate that early detection of skin cancer (melanoma) increases the chance of recovery to approximately 90% of cases . Therefore, it is essential to take care of your skin and monitor it regularly to detect any changes early and take the necessary preventative measures.
