The Importance of Observing Skin Changes
Skin health is paramount, and detecting problems early can be the key difference between simple treatment and more complex interventions. Here's a look into some common skin concerns:
Moles
Changes in size: Moles that suddenly increase in size can be a cause for concern.
Alterations in colour: A mole that changes in colour, especially if it turns darker or displays multiple colours, should be examined.
Evolving shape: Irregular, asymmetrical borders or a mole that appears different from others on your skin may need to be examined.
Skin spots and growths
Itchiness: Itchy spots or growths can indicate a skin problem.
Bleeding: Any spontaneous bleeding from a growth should be immediately assessed.
Non-healing spots: Spots or growths that persist and do not heal over time need to be checked.
Skin discolourations
Darkening patches: Any area of the skin that suddenly darkens can be a sign of a skin condition or damage.
Texture changes: A patch of skin that thickens or feels different than surrounding areas should be examined.
New or evolving lesions
Appearance: The sudden appearance of new skin lesions might be worth examining.
Evolution: Any lesion that changes in appearance over a short period is significant and can be early signs of skin cancer.
By understanding these potential issues and acting quickly, you improve the chances of early detection and effective treatment.
