What are the skin cancer symptoms?

The skin cancer symptoms can vary depending on the type and stage of the cancer, but may include:

A new or changing mole or growth on the skin
A sore that doesn’t heal
A spot that looks different from the others on the skin
Redness or swelling around a mole
Itching, tenderness, or pain in a mole or growth
A shiny, pearly bump on the skin that may have a rolled edge and a central depression (a possible sign of basal cell carcinoma)
A scaly, red patch of skin that may have a rough, crusty surface (a possible sign of squamous cell carcinoma)
A dark, unusual-looking mole that changes in size, shape, or color over time (a possible sign of melanoma)

It’s important to note that not all skin growths or moles are cancerous, but any changes in the skin and signs of skin cancer should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to rule out the possibility of skin cancer. Early detection and treatment are key to successfully treating early skin cancer symptoms. Please contact our best dermatologist in Dubai today.

What are the causes of skin cancer?

The main cause of skin cancer is overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells, leading to abnormal growth and the development of cancer. Other factors that may increase the risk of skin cancer include:

Fair skin, light hair, and light-colored eyes
A history of sunburns or excessive sun exposure
A family history of skin cancer
Weakened immune system
Exposure to certain chemicals or substances, such as arsenic
Previous radiation therapy
Certain medical conditions, such as xeroderma pigmentosum or basal cell nevus syndrome

It’s important to protect the skin from UV radiation by wearing protective clothing, staying in the shade, and using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Avoiding tanning beds and getting regular skin exams from a healthcare provider can also help reduce the risk of skin cancer.

What are the treatment options for skin cancer?

The treatment options for skin cancer depend on the type, size, and location of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health. The most common treatments for skin cancer include:

Surgery: This is the most common treatment for skin cancer and involves removing the cancerous growth and a small amount of surrounding healthy tissue – skin cancer mole removal. Depending on the size and location of the cancer, surgery may be done under local or general anesthesia.
Radiation therapy: This involves using high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be used for cancers that are difficult to remove with surgery or for patients who cannot undergo surgery.
Chemotherapy: This involves using drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is not commonly used to treat skin cancer but may be an option for advanced cases of melanoma.
Immunotherapy: This involves using medications that stimulate the immune system to attack cancer cells. Immunotherapy may be an option for advanced cases of melanoma.

In some cases, a combination of Dermatology treatments may be used to treat skin cancer. It’s important to discuss treatment options with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for each individual case. Early detection and treatment are key to successfully treating skin cancer.
