ABCDEs من سرطان الجلد
سرطان الجلد, which includes basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, as well as melanoma, is the most common cancer diagnosis in the U.S. and is one of the most preventable cancers.
من المهم فحص بشرتك بحثًا عن الشامات المشبوهة مرة واحدة شهريًا والإبلاغ عن أي شيء غير عادي لمقدم الرعاية الصحية الخاص بك.
The ABCDE rule:
أsymmetry
نصف الشامة لا يتطابق مع الآخر
بorder irregularity
The mole is uneven in shape with jagged, notched or blurred edges
Color
The mole is not uniform in color
Diameter
The mole has a diameter greater than 6mm (about the size of a pencil eraser)
Evolving
There’s any change in the size, shape, color or elevation or the mole, or you experience any new symptoms (such as bleeding, itching or crusting)
If you have darker skin tones
Skin cancer can be harder to identify on darker skin tones as compared to on light or fair skin tones. If you have darker skin, it’s a good idea to have your skin checks done by a health care provider, like a dermatologist, who is experienced in identifying skin cancer on all skin tones and knows what to look for.
