The ABCD’s of Melanoma

by | Jul 15, 2010

Use these tips as a guideline to determine whether you may have melanoma.

A:  Asymmetry – the spot isn’t symmetrical and may have an odd shape

B:  Border – look for a border that isn’t sharp or defined

C:  Color – the color is not uniform and may have different shades of red, brown, or black

D:  Diameter – the spot is the size of a pencil eraser or larger

1.3 million people will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year.

There are more new cases of skin cancer each year than breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancers combined.

The risk of developing melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, has more than doubled in the past decade.  Yet melanoma is one of the easiest forms of cancer to prevent and early detection and treatment are critical.

More than 90% of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, yet fewer than 33% of us routinely use sun protection.

So if you notice any changes, please go to a dermatologist immediately.  It could save your life

Sensitive skin got you seeing red?

There are many reasons why the skin becomes sensitive. A small percentage of people have underlying skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, while a larger percentage are likely to have a genetic pre-disposition making them more susceptible to the impact of the environment, including stress, climate change, travel, sun exposure, cosmetic overuse, and mechanical irritation (friction or rubbing).

For some, skin sensitivity may produce dry, red, itchy patches, while in others it may cause sensory symptoms such as burning, stinging, tenderness, and itching without any visible changes. Studies consistently tell us that more than 50% of people experience sensitive skin at some point in their lives.
