5 reasons not to ignore skin growths

👀"It's just a mole, what could be wrong with it?" - that's what most people think when they notice new growths on their skin. But not all changes are safe. Some can be a signal from the body that something is wrong.

😌So that you don't worry unnecessarily (and don't miss something important), here are 5 reasons why you should pay attention to your skin:

Possible risk of skin cancer

Skin cancer can develop slowly and painlessly, so many people don't notice the threat. But it is the early detection of melanoma or other malignant formations that significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Changes are always a signal

If a mole or spot begins to enlarge, change color, bleed or itch, this may indicate pathological processes. The sooner you see a doctor, the lower the health risks.

Viral warts and contagious formations

Some growths are caused by viruses (for example, human papillomavirus) and can spread to other areas of the skin or be transmitted by contact. Removing such formations is not just cosmetic, but also infection prevention.

Self-diagnosis is not always accurate

Not all formations can be recognized independently. A dermatologist uses dermatoscopy to assess their structure and determine whether there is a risk of degeneration. This is an accurate method that helps to detect dangerous changes before serious symptoms appear.

Removal is not only about beauty, but also about safety

Some formations can be injured, inflamed or even degenerate into malignant ones. Removal under the supervision of a dermatologist is not just aesthetics, but a way to protect yourself from serious complications.
