Skin Cancer Prevention and Detection

There are more than 2 million cases of skin cancer diagnosed every single year in the U.S. That number has been steadily increasing for years, and is more than colon, uterus, ovarian, pancreatic, lung, breast, and prostate cancer combined. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to prevent skin cancer for many people, as well as steps that you can take to get early detection of your skin cancer. Unlike other forms of cancer, there are no real tests needed to check for tumors or possible cancers because you can see everything with your own eyes.

Skin cancer comes in many forms, but they all start in the skin and move on to other parts of the body. Whether the cancer is caused by too much sun exposure, a family history, or anything else will depend on your situation. If you’re looking for skin cancer, you need to look for growths, patches, or sores that won’t heal after a couple of months. You should also look for melanomas, which are most commonly seen and interpreted as moles. Look at the moles to determine their size and shape to know whether it’s something to look at.

ABCD for Melanoma

Melanoma is the most popular form of skin cancer. Fortunately, checking out a mole to make sure it’s not a wolf in sheep’s clothing is easy with the ABCD rule:

A: Asymmetry. When your mole or spot is not even on both sides
B: Border. If the edges are blurry, ragged, or notched, it’s worth checking out.
C: Color. If there is not a single, even color on the spot, it might be dangerous.
D: Diameter. Look for spots that are larger than the size of a pencil eraser, but don’t exclude spots that are smaller and meet other criteria.

Prevention Tips

Any online medical consultations that you can find will help you learn more about your risk of cancer and how to prevent it. If you talk to an online doctor, they will typically tell you to look out for non-healing sores, spreading of pigments, swelling of the spot, pain or tenderness, and bleeding in some situations. There are many ways to prevent you from getting to this point, of course, including staying out of the sun, avoiding harsh chemicals and using high-SPF sunscreen when you are outdoors. Take the time to talk to your own family doctor or get online medical consultations so that you can learn about skin cancer and how you can protect yourself.
