The most dangerous form of skin cancer which, if not detected early may spread to other parts of the body and cause serious illness and even death.
Risk factors include fair skin, many moles on the skin, a history of tanning and a history of sunburn exposure.
Signs
The most common early signs of melanoma are:
- A mole growing on the skin.
- Unusual looking moles or a mole that does not look like any other mole on your skin (the ugly duckling).
- Non-uniform mole (has an odd shape, uneven or uncertain border, different colours).
Symptoms
Melanoma may cause itchiness, bleeding or feel painful.
Cure rate approaches 100% if melanoma is detected and treated early.
