🔊 May is #SkinCancerAwarenesMonth and we would like to use today to bring to your attention the cancer you can see! If you see something NEW, CHANGING or UNUSUAL, get checked by a dermatologist right away. It could be skin cancer. This includes: ➡ A growth that increases in size and appears pearly, transparent, tan, brown, black, or multicolored. ➡ A mole, birthmark or brown spot that increases in size, thickness, changes color or texture, or is bigger than a pencil eraser. Learn the ABCDEs of melanoma. ➡ A spot or sore that continues to itch, hurt, crust, scab or bleed. ➡ An open sore that does not heal within three weeks. Skin cancer affects people of all colours, with people of colour often being diagnosed later and it is often harder to treat. The Skin Cancer Awareness Foundation has put together information of people of colour and how they can spot the signs 👇 https://lnkd.in/gaC3Dd2W

Melanoma (skin cancer) is highly curable if caught early. Here is what to look for: melanomas are usually asymmetrical or rough-looking flat black moles without clearly defined borders. A spot that continues to grow or change is another indication. It is extremely important to keep tabs on any of these concerning characteristics. A dermatologist can do an expert head to toe scan and map out a baseline for you to do monthly body self-checks.

This Skin Cancer Awareness Month, let’s spread awareness of the importance of early detection for effective treatment. The best way to detect skin cancer early is by doing a self-assessment, because nobody knows your body like you do! Follow these quick steps for your self-check: - Do a full-body check with a handheld mirror and be sure to check those hard-to-reach places. - Use the ABCDE rule by looking at a spot for Asymmetry, irregular Borders, uneven Colour, large Diameter (>6mm) and Evolving spots. - Don't forget to check your scalp, palms, soles of your feet and under your nails. If you’re worried about a spot or mole, please see your dermatologist as soon as possible. #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth #skincancer

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S. and is most often caused by exposure to UV light, including sunlight and artificial UV light from tanning beds. However, skin cancer can appear anywhere on your body even if it wasn’t exposed heavily to UV light.
