    Treating Melanoma (Skin Cancer #8)

    "If left untreated, melanoma can be fatal. Luckily, there are a host of options that can prevent this."

    I (Sal) just got a couple of moles removed ("Surgical removal usually involves a simple excision under local anesthetic", (Also, "Typically, the lesion is "shaved" down with a surgical blade, or is cut away (excised). The resulting wound site may require sutures (stitches).")this month (November of 2005) after asking advice from my personal doctor 2 months ago. I told him (Dr. Stavig) I was worried about some moles that has appeared in different parts of my body, particularly one under my left armpit and over my left nipple. I went to see a dermatologist and automatically notice the unusual "irregular" shape, which he removed it right at that moment. I got a biopsy report 2 weeks later and found out that no melanoma, but it can develop overtime. They told me I need to watch this area closely and report any changes in the next 6 months.

    A year later...

    I got a mole w/puss coming out when squeezed removed above the tit of my left side of my chest.

    This one was removed under my armpit of my left too!

    • "Early detection is crucial in treating skin cancer. Have annual skin checks, during which your dermatologist can look for any unusual moles or marks (if you have a family history of melanoma or are particularly predisposed to developing it, biannual checks are best). And if you see any suspicious bumps or scabs - particularly those that fit the descriptions above - don't hesitate to see a doctor right away.
    Wishing you great skin!"
