Not all skin cancers look like moles - a persistent, irritated patch of skin could be a warning sign, so get it checked if it doesn’t heal ❤️

Did you know that when a lesion is removed, it’s sliced into ultra-thin layers - these thin layers are about 4 microns thick, which is thinner than a human hair! These slices need to be incredibly thin for a simple but important reason: microscopes can only clearly see single layers of cells. 🔬

What happens after a lesion is removed?

Once in the lab, the lesion is carefully sliced depending on its size - tiny ones may be halved, while larger or irregular ones are cut into multiple sections (a bit like slicing a loaf of bread 🍞). Each section is set into a wax block to keep it stable. From there, ultra-thin layers are shaved off with a special tool and placed onto glass slides. Under the microscope 🔬, these slides reveal whether the tissue is harmless or shows signs of skin cancer.

The evolution of the skin cancer ABCDE's began in 1985 by physicians Drs. Al Kopf and Darrell Rigel, along with the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), as a public health campaign to help people recognise signs of early skin cancerous lesions.
