Moles and Skin Cancer

Early Detection of Skin Cancer May Save Your Life!

Skin cancer today is quite prevalent. We are all exposed constantly to the sun. Many of us as teenagers and adults enjoy the benefits of a body that is tan and radiant. However, the sun damages our skin from its ultraviolet radiation and can cause skin cancer.

Black/brown lesions with irregular borders are suspicious for early cancer. Lesions that change in color or size are also of concern. When these types of lesions are seen, a biopsy is required. This is a simple procedure performed in the office. If the biopsy returns atypia, a excision of the area will be necessary. By early detection, lives may be saved and deformity minimized.
