MOLES

Everybody has moles, but it may be difficult to appreciate which ones are safe and which need to be removed. Moles are usually brown in color and can vary in size and shape. The brown color in moles is caused by special cells containing a pigment called melanin. Dark, flat moles are especially concerning as they may progress to melanoma.

Studies have found that sunburns and excessive sun exposure may increase a person's risk for the disease so the American Academy of Dermatology and Dr. Schlessinger recommend:

• Stay out of the sun between the hours of 10 and 3
• Never go to tanning booths
• Wear sunscreen and reapply every 2 hours while exercising or sweating
• Wear a hat and sunglasses while outdoors.

In addition to having participated in studies on skin cancer, Dr. Schlessinger and the professionals at Skin Specialists are experts in skin cancer evaluation and treatment and Moh's Surgery, the most effective treatment for skin cancer.

Know Your ABCD's

Recognize the warning signs of malignant melanoma by using this easy-to-remember guide:

A stands for asymmetry. Beware of moles where one half doesn't match the other half in shape.

B

stands for border. Watch for moles with ragged, blurred or irregular borders or edges.

C stands for color. Look for uneven coloration, more than one color, or moles with unusual colors.

D stands for diameter. Give special attention to moles with a diameter larger than the size of a pencil eraser.
