| The majority of moles are HARMLESS lesions. However if the mole shows change in colour or size or becomes symptomatic (itch) or indeed changes shape, they should be removed and sent to the labs for histology reporting, to determine if malignant changes have taken place. The other thing to watch for are rodent ulcers (basal cell carcinoma). These generally appear on sun exposed areas of the skin and present as small waxy nodules with rolled pearly border. As it grows it starts to ulcerate and crust over. This is the most common skin cancer, and can be treated. So don't ignore if you have suspect you have a lesion. They are most common between the hairline and upper lip. Seek medical advise as if neglected it can lead to loss of all or part of a nose, lip or ear. Preventative measures always best so avoid going out at the hottest part of the day and if you do have to, wear a high protection SP30 or above sun block. Stay safe Chris |
