Skin cancer and more specifically melanoma appears on the body in many different ways. Here is a brief list of signs to watch for.

It can present as;

-Changing mole or mole that looks different from your others

-Dome-shaped growth

-Scaly patch

-Non-healing sore or sore that heals and returns

-Brown or black streak under a nail

-It can also show up in other ways.

-To find skin cancer on your body, you don’t have to remember a long list.

Dermatologists sum it up this way. It’s time to see a dermatologist if you notice a spot on your skin that:

-Differs from the others

-Changes

-Itches

-Bleeds

If you find a spot on your skin that could be skin cancer, it’s time to see a dermatologist. Found early, skin cancer is highly treatable when early detection is available. Often a dermatologist can treat an early skin cancer by removing the cancer and a bit of normal-looking skin.
