Do you know the ABCs of a cancerous mole?
“Sorry folks, there is no such thing as a healthy tan,” says Dr Ayesha Omar, Dermatologist. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in South Africa, and early detection is key.
🔍 Check your moles for the ABCDEs:
A – Asymmetry: Is one side uneven or differently shaped?
B – Border: Irregular or jagged edges?
C – Colours: Multiple shades?
D – Diameter: Over 6mm or growing fast?
E – Evolution: Has it changed, bled, or become itchy?
⚠️ Melanoma can develop from an existing mole or appear suddenly as a dark, unusual spot.
✅ Check your moles regularly and see any qualified doctor at MediHub Nelspruit if you notice any changes.
🌟 Testimonial:
"After a general checkup at MediHub, Dr Inge Van Dyk noticed a suspicious mole. A biopsy confirmed it was a cancerous melanoma. One week later, it was surgically removed. It was caught just in time. The team went above and beyond, Dr Inge was there every step of the way."
