The Best Sunscreens and How to Use Them
June 6th, 2011How can you tell if a mole or sunspot is anything to worry about or is skin cancer?
May 14th, 2011I highly recommend everyone get a cancer screening once a year. Too often people self diagnose and come in too late. That being said we use the ABCD rule which helps to identify unusual, suspect moles and spots:
- A: Asymmetry-one half unlike the other half.
- B: Border-irregular, scalloped or poorly defined border.
- C: Color-varied from one area to another; shades of tan and brown, black; sometimes white, red or blue.
- D: Diameter-Normally greater than 6mm in diameter (the size of a pencil eraser). Melanomas can be smaller. If you notice a mole different from others, or which changes itches, or bleeds (even if it is small) you should see a dermatologist.
