Customer question:
How can I recognize malignant melanoma? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Malignant melanoma can appear on any part of the body, so it is essential to examine the whole body, even those not exposed to the sun. A malignant melanoma birthmark or mole is usually not symmetrical. If you draw a vertical or horizontal line through the center of the stain, the halves tend not to match. The margins of malignant melanoma are often irregular, jagged, or indistinct. They can look uneven.

The sign can contain several colors, including red, blue, white, or black. A variety of colors can be a sign of malignant melanoma. The size of the birthmark or birthmark is an essential factor. If the diameter is greater than 6 millimeters, this may be a sign of malignant melanoma. Changes in a mole or mole, especially rapid changes in shape, color, size, or thickness, could indicate malignant melanoma.
Itching, a burning sensation, or pain in the area of the mark can sometimes manifest malignant melanoma. The appearance of new moles, significantly if they increase or exhibit other unusual characteristics, is often alarming. It is essential to know that these signs are not always a guarantee that it is a malignant melanoma. Still, they can be a warning about the need for an examination by a dermatologist.
