Skin cancer is a serious concern, but catching it early can make a big difference. Here’s what to watch for:
Changes in Moles: Keep an eye on any changes in the size, shape, color, or texture of moles you have. Also, pay attention if new moles pop up.
Odd-Looking Moles: If a mole has uneven edges, different colors, or looks different on one side compared to the other, it might be cause for concern.
Bleeding or Itching: Moles or spots that itch, bleed, or won’t heal are worth getting checked out.
Regular Checks: Make it a habit to check your skin once a month. Use a mirror to see hard-to-reach spots like your back.
Get Checked: Don’t hesitate to see a doctor if you’re worried about a spot on your skin. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
By keeping an eye out for these signs and acting promptly if you notice anything unusual, you can help protect yourself from skin cancer.
