  1. Signs that say you need a skin cancer screening

  2. Cancer has been deemed as one of the deadliest diseases or conditions in the world. Its danger also lies in its subtle spreading that makes the patient detect that they have cancer far too late. Here in the tropical country of Singapore where you may experience the scorching heat, it is necessary to check for skin cancer. Dermatologists like those at Mount Elizabeth Novena, Singapore offers skin cancer screening to those who need to get themselves checked. Here are some of the things to look for in your body that would say you need a skin cancer screening: Melanoma. You must watch out for this type of pigmentation. Melanoma has been deemed as a deadly form of skin cancer. If left untreated, this can spread to other parts of the body. Even if you are not normally exposed to the sun, melanoma can still show up. Once you suspect having this, you must undergo skin cancer screening. Nodular melanoma. This type of pigmentation grows quickly, and looks different from other melanomas. It comes in red, pink, brown or black. It is also firm as you touch it, dome-shaped, and would eventually bleed, and crust.

  3. Basal cell carcinoma. This pigmentation might be the most common, and least dangerous type of skin cancer, but it is still necessary to seek skin cancer screening. It appears red or pearly in colour, and has a lump or dry scaly area. this grows slowly, and is prone on areas exposed to the sun. Squamous cell carcinoma. This looks like a thickened, red scaly spot that bleeds easily, crusts, or ulcerates. Those who are exposed to the sun frequently, and are over 50 years old are more likely to grow these. When you start noticing unnatural hyperpigmentations, or moles, it would be best to take every precautionary measure like taking a skin cancer check. Especially here in Singapore where the sun is always out, make sure to apply sunblock daily, or take skin cancer screenings under dermatologists like those in Mount Elizabeth Novena.
