Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, and it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms. While it’s easy to ignore a spot or mole on your skin, it’s important to pay attention to any changes in your skin. A new photo series, “Don’t Ignore It,” is helping to spread awareness of the common signs of skin cancer.
The photo series was created by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) to help people recognize the signs of skin cancer. The photos feature real people with skin cancer, and they show the various shapes, sizes, and colors of skin cancer. The photos are meant to help people recognize the signs of skin cancer and to encourage them to get checked out by a dermatologist if they notice any changes in their skin.
The most common signs of skin cancer are changes in the size, shape, or color of a mole or spot on the skin. Other signs include a sore that won’t heal, a new growth, or a spot that itches, bleeds, or becomes crusty. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to see a dermatologist right away.
The AAD’s “Don’t Ignore It” photo series is a great way to spread awareness of skin cancer and to encourage people to get checked out if they notice any changes in their skin. Skin cancer is highly treatable if it’s caught early, so it’s important to pay attention to any changes in your skin and to get checked out by a dermatologist if you notice anything unusual.
