If you notice any mole or spot on your skin that is new, changing or concerns you in any other way, see your doctor to get your skin checked. After the skin examination, your doctor will decide whether you need further assessment or treatment.
The cure rate is higher and treatment is more likely to be successful if skin cancer is found and treated early. That’s why it may be a good investment to regularly check your skin and moles for any changes or new lesions.
If not treated in time, some types of skin cancer may gradually spread to other parts of the body. A very important factor in evaluating treatment options is determining the skin cancer’s stage which shows how far the cancer has spread.
Skin cancer treatment options will vary, depending on the type, size or location of the skin cancer.5
