Skin Changes (4/13)

New moles, changes in existing moles (ABCDE rule: Asymmetry, Border irregularity, Color changes, Diameter >6mm, Evolving), or unusual skin growths or discolorations. This can include persistent sores that don’t heal, changes in skin texture, or yellowish skin and eyes (jaundice). These changes can indicate skin cancer or other cancers affecting internal organs.

Treatment:

• Thorough dermatological examination
• Biopsy of suspicious lesions
• Surgical removal of cancerous growths
• Further cancer treatments if malignant (e.g., Mohs surgery, radiation, immunotherapy)
• Regular skin checks and sun protection measures
• Treatment of underlying systemic cancers if skin changes are secondary
