Melanoma..? |
Two weeks ago i went to the doctor to get a mole removed off my back, she said it had all for characteristics of being melanoma. I am still waiting for the results to come back, but what are they chance that it really is melanoma?? Let's face it, sun is no good for your skin. Sunscreens, hats with wide brims, long sleeves, and pants will lower the risk of skin cancer and keep your skin young looking. All these cancers are related to sun exposure. Squamous cell and basal cell cancers appear almost exclusively on the areas of skin most exposed to sun ( head, neck, hands). Melanoma is also common in these areas but may appear on the chest or back. Melanoma is most common in people who have had one or more severe blistering sunburns before the age of 18. A reminder: If you get one of these cancers, you are likely to get another. So, once you've had the first one cured, it is a good idea to have regular examinations to make sure that nothing new has developed. Avoid further damage to the skin from the sun. |
