What species are dangerous?

First of all, it is necessary to determine which families belong to the risk zone. Their list includes the following:

• atypical ro moles (they are larger than ordinary birthmarks, have an uneven shape and unclear color; most often, such birthmarks are inherited);
• Hutchinson's melanotic freckles (they are also called lentigo, this is a flat spot with several shades, most often they appear on the face of those over 50 years old);
• skin neoplasms of unknown etiology (they, as a rule, appear suddenly and develop very quickly, they are the most common type of melanoma).

Melanoma symptoms

The presence of one of these types of families is already a dangerous bell and they must be watched. But especially you should be alerted by the symptoms described below.

Altitude change

If the flat mole has suddenly thickened and painful sensations have begun to appear, it is necessary to consult a specialist.

Color change

Another dangerous bell is changing the color of the mole. It should not become darker. It is also dangerous if circles of a second color appear around the spot or inside it.

The discomfort

If you feel pain or notice that erosion has appeared on the birthmark, pus or blood is oozing from it, see a doctor immediately.

Accompanying pigmentation

It is dangerous if the area around the birthmark has become inflamed, swollen, reddened or darkened, as well as if small dark spots have started to appear around the birthmark.

Itching and burning

An important symptom is the appearance of any uncomfortable sensations: itching, burning, tingling, or the birthmark suddenly began to itch. These are all bells and whistles that require special attention.

Structure change

A very important and serious symptom is that the family has changed its structure. For example, it split into sectors that break off easily or became like scratches that cannot heal in any way and are disturbing.
