What are the beginning signs of skin cancer? |
my mom keeps getting these things on her arms that itch her and they bleed and then scab and she has a lot of them. she has lupus and i dunno if it's from her lupus or if its a sign of skin cancer or not... cancer runs in my family. i've had 3 family members that i know of die of some kinda cancer and they were all on my mom's side. and i'm very worried that it could be really bad. Since I cannot see the "things" in person, I cannot be a 100% sure. It is very possible it is because of lupus because depending on the type of lupus, skin eruptions are often seen. I would highly recommend you take your mom to see a dermatologist to get it looked at. If the patches are asymmetrical, change in color, have irregular borders, and change in size then it is definitely serious. Also if there is a high rate of skin cancer in your family I would highly recommend wearing sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun. Excessive sun exposure is associated with a high incidence of skin cancer. Your mom needs to show these areas to her doctor.He will determine what steps need to be done. if he suppects skin cancer he will do a biopsy Get her doctor to look at these things. Only a doctor (or trained professional) can know. Melanoma survivor. |
