The ideal course of action is to undergo a skin assessment by a dermatologist. However, changes in moles or spots on your skin may not be apparent, especially if you are used to seeing it everyday and these changes happen over time. If you suspect that a mole, or spot may be cancerous you can:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Take photos of the suspected lesion<\/strong> \u2013 Preferably with a ruler or something to indicate the size and shape of the lesion. Unlike moles, skin cancer growths are more likely to change in shape, colour, or size.<\/li><li><strong>Show the pictures to your doctor during check-ups or screenings<\/strong> \u2013 Skin cancer lesions can vary in their progression, documenting changes of your lesions allows the dermatologist to identify whether the lesion is cancerous based on how fast the lesion changes or evolves.<\/li><li><strong>Be consistent with your pictures<\/strong> \u2013 Try to take the picture from the same angle, under the same light\/time of day, with the same tool for size comparison. Keeping these variables constant can help your dermatologist observe and compare the changes more accurately.<\/li><li><strong>Check for signs of irritation or inflammation<\/strong> \u2013 Normally moles or benign growths do not cause signs of inflammation such as pain, itching, bleeding or swelling. If you notice any of these with changes of your moles, you may need to get it checked by a dermatologist immediately.<\/li><\/ul><p>In any case, the only way to know if a lesion is cancerous is by getting a dermatologist to check and diagnose the lesion. Skin cancers like melanoma can be treated and managed if detected early. However, it can also be life-threatening if not detected and treated early, as it can spread to other parts of the body. It is always better to be safe than sorry, hence, always seek medical attention in case of doubt or concern, don\u2019t wait until it is too late!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b0368fa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b0368fa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom&quot;:&quot;waves&quot;,&quot;shape_divider_bottom_negative&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shape elementor-shape-bottom\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-negative=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 100\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\">\n\t<path class=\"elementor-shape-fill\" d=\"M790.5,93.1c-59.3-5.3-116.8-18-192.6-50c-29.6-12.7-76.9-31-100.5-35.9c-23.6-4.9-52.6-7.8-75.5-5.3\n\tc-10.2,1.1-22.6,1.4-50.1,7.4c-27.2,6.3-58.2,16.6-79.4,24.7c-41.3,15.9-94.9,21.9-134,22.6C72,58.2,0,25.8,0,25.8V100h1000V65.3\n\tc0,0-51.5,19.4-106.2,25.7C839.5,97,814.1,95.2,790.5,93.1z\"\/>\n<\/svg>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a327bc8\" data-id=\"a327bc8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3ec796 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f3ec796\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Skin Cancer vs Mole vs Scar<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6f61bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d6f61bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How can you tell if a growth is cancerous?

However, doctors and scientist have identified the following as common risk factors of skin cancer [3, 5]:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Ultraviolet radiation (UVR)<\/strong> \u2013 UVR from sun exposure, tanning beds, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/sunburn\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20355922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sunburns<\/a> are among the most common risk factors of skin cancer.<\/li><li><strong>Pale skin<\/strong> \u2013 Pale skin, or skin that sunburns easily is among the non-modifiable risk factors. Patients with pale skin may lack the pigment melanin, which protects the skin from UVR [3]. However, this does not mean dark skinned patients are free from risks of skin cancer.<\/li><li><strong>Moles<\/strong> \u2013 The presence of moles, especially having lots of them, presents a potential risk of the moles developing into a cancerous growth.<\/li><li><strong>Family or personal history of melanoma or cancers<\/strong> \u2013 Genetic risks are non-modifiable risk factors. Furthermore, cancer survivors are also at risk for skin cancers due to radiotherapy, genetic factors, immune suppression, and organ or stem cell transplantation [5].<\/li><li><strong>Weakened immune system (i.e. HIV\/AIDS, organ transplants)<\/strong> \u2013 Having a weakened immune system from infections, medications, or medical treatment such as organ transplants are at a higher risk for developing skin cancer such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.<\/li><li><strong>Old age<\/strong> \u2013 Older people are more likely to develop skin cancer likely due to cumulative sun exposure over the years.<\/li><li><strong>Exposure to carcinogens<\/strong> \u2013 Exposure to harmful carcinogens such as by smoking also increases the risk of skin cancer.<\/li><\/ul><p>Skin cancer risks can be modifiable or non-modifiable. Reducing the risk of skin cancers by adjusting the modifiable risk factors can be as simple as wearing sun protection and limiting time outdoors.
