Irregular Moles
One of the most deadly forms of skin cancer, Melanoma, can present as an irregular shaped, yet innocent looking mole. We all will experience the typical brown spots and or growths that go along with the passage of time and aging. What makes melanoma present differently is that it will have a noticeable irregularity to its border, and can vary in shade from tan to brown. Melanoma will grow over time, having started as a flat spot to become elevated upward from the skin eventually. Not every atypical mole will turn to melanoma. However, some of the early warning signs include the presence of itching, pain, bleeding or a bluish-black bruised coloring.
