Skin cancers can emerge whether you've basked in the sun at the beach or stayed sheltered in the shade. While you can perform checks yourself at home, it's essential to know the ABCDEs of melanoma to gauge when it's time to visit a professional at a skin clinic.
- Asymmetry: Most skin cancer is asymmetrical. If a mole or lesion looks different on one half compared to the other, it can be a sign to get a professional skin cancer check.
- Border: Unlike regular moles, skin cancers often have jagged borders. Lesions or moles with uneven, scalloped, or notched edges warrant some serious attention.
- Colour: Varied colours in a mole can be concerning. While regular moles are typically one shade, skin cancers can display a mix of brown, tan, or black.
- Diameter or Dark: A mole larger than 6mm (roughly the size of a pencil eraser) can be a red flag. It is also important to keep an eye on exceptionally dark lesions, regardless of their size. In rare cases, there are amelanotic melanomas, which are colourless skin cancers.
- Evolving: It is important to monitor moles and lesions over time. Any changes in size, shape, or colour and any new symptoms should be checked during a consultation.
Stay vigilant and remember that while self-checks are essential, they don't replace a professional skin cancer check at a dedicated clinic. Ensure your skin's health and peace of mind by scheduling regular appointments at our clinics on the Sunshine Coast.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
BCC is the most prevalent form of skin cancer. Thankfully, it's also the least threatening. Often emerging on sun-exposed areas like the face, neck, and upper body, it can manifest as a lump or a dry, scaly patch. A basal cell carcinoma can range from a reddish hue to pale or even pearly in colour. It can be similar to a persistent sore that doesn't seem to heal right, sometimes ulcerating or changing over time.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
SCC is not as dangerous as melanoma, but it still poses more risk to patients than BCC. It is vital to seek treatment for squamous cell carcinoma as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading. This type of skin cancer typically takes the form of a thickened, red, and scaly spot. It can also evolve over time and may bleed, crust, or ulcerate.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. It may emerge from a benign mole you've had for years, or appear as a new spot, with hues varying from tan to dark brown to blue-black. Melanomas can also be unpredictable. They can change in size, shape, or colour, and may itch, bleed, or ulcerate. Early detection and removal are critical.
Regular skin checks and awareness of these conditions can help manage and treat these conditions.
