Melanoma
Of the three main skin cancers, Melanoma is one of the more concerning ones as it can have a tendency to spread more easily than either basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Melanomas often start out as small dark spots which are flat, but they can also develop in a third dimension. If you have a new mole, or a long standing mole which is getting darker in just one area, please have the area checked promptly. We can make a large difference in survival rates if a melanoma is caught early.
