Dr. Ulisa Vishnya, a dermatologist, confirmed that a change in the color of a mole or its irregular color, as well as a change in its overall appearance, and the appearance of itching or bleeding, may indicate a health problem.
Signals that require attention
She explained that most moles do not pose a risk, but some developments that occur on them may pose a health threat. For this reason, a doctor should be consulted immediately if there is any sudden change in the shape or feel of the mole.
The doctor explained that among the signs that may indicate the transformation of a mole into a cancerous tumor are: the appearance of different and multiple colors ranging from brown, blue and light, in addition to irregular or blurred edges, and a rough texture. These changes may be accompanied by symptoms such as bleeding, peeling or itching. She advises the need to consult a dermatologist or skin oncologist immediately if any of these signs are noticed.
Dr. Vishnya also stressed the importance of not ignoring these changes, and explained that the skin often reflects what is happening inside the body, and that any abnormal activity in the mole may not be just a local change, but may indicate problems in the functions of the internal organs.
