Cancer Prevention

OFTEN EARLY DETECTION OF SKIN CANCER CAN SAVE LIVES

Your skin and, for that matter your whole body, can be endangered to a very high degree by black skin cancer. Harmless looking moles are changing, pigment cells multiply irregularly, and a malignant cancer develops.

What you should check for on a regular basis:

The Association of Dermatological Prevention recommends having the skin checked once a year by a dermatologist. Examinations are performed using modern methods: with the FotoFinder©, a computer-based investigation in which even the smallest mole is detected. What you yourself should look for when you notice changes in the skin:

• A mole has a distinctly different color. It can be black or brown and dark brown to black, and it stands out clearly from the other marks.

• The shape is different, elevated or irregular, and you notice that the color changes, for example, sometimes the mole is darker, sometimes it is brighter.

• A pigmented nevus (pigmentation mark) changed suddenly, although, for years it had looked the same. 

• You notice a mole because it itches, burns, or even bleeds
