Symptoms of Skin Cancer
The non-melanoma skin cancer may look like under various brands in the skin. In general, you should consult any stain that grows, changes shape or color, especially when it gets dark. Also, if bulges, itches or bleeds.
Basal cell carcinomas appear as red areas, flat or scaly areas or small waxy, shiny and translucent to the relief that may bleed. There may be some irregular blood vessel visible, or show areas of blue, brown or black.
Squamous cell carcinomas can look like growing lumps, rough surface, or flat as reddish patches of skin that grow slowly.
Melanoma may appear as a change in those spots on the skin. Any sore, lump, mark, etc. that is suspected might be a melanoma. The skin may become rough or scaly or may bleed or ooze.
You can take a melanoma from a mole, change in appearance or texture. In general, a mole is a spot of uniform color, brown, tan or black skin.
Less than six millimeters in diameter and can be present from birth or may appear in childhood or youth. Most people have moles that are benign. It is important to recognize your changes.
The ABCD rule can help identify the characteristics of melanoma:
Asymmetry: half of the mole does not match the other half.
Border irregularity: The edges of the mole are uneven.
Color: The color of the mole is not uniform, their colors vary from brown to red or blue.
Diameter: the mole is larger than 6 millimeters wide.
Although this rule is useful for most melanomas, not all conform to these characteristics.
