- How does skin cancer progress?
As skin cancer progresses, it might develop secondary infections or ulcerate, causing pain. This is when the patient may start noticing changes and seek medical advice.
- What should patients look for?
Patients usually present with an abnormal skin lesion. If you notice a skin lesion that looks unusual or changes over time, it is important to get it examined by a healthcare professional.
- How is skin cancer diagnosed?
When there is a suspicion of skin cancer, a dermoscopy is performed, followed by a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive examination of the skin using a special magnifying device.
