SUMMARY
-Women are more likely to get melanoma on their legs and feet, while men notice it more on their back.
-In its early stages, a cancerous growth looks just like your common mole: round or oval, brown or pink in color, about a quarter of an inch wide, with a smooth surface or a little dome shape to it.
-A dermatologist will have no problem removing any mole if it bothers you physically or makes you self-conscious.
-This might come as a surprise, but the most effective way to remove a mole nowadays is still a good ol’ scalpel.
-Even people with dark skin tones should use sunscreen, wear hats, and avoid too much sun exposure on certain days.
-Ultraviolet radiation can easily penetrate clouds, which means it can still damage our skin even if it’s a cloudy day or pouring down rain.

-If you’ve damaged a mole, clean the area with antiseptic to prevent infection, apply some topical ointment to speed up healing and see a specialist ASAP.
