Melanoma

Melanoma

Melanoma, which means black tumor, is the supreme risky type of skin cancer it grows rapidly and can spread all over the body. Melanoma is a type of skin tumor that changes when melanocytes (the cells that give the skin its brown or tan color) begin to mature out of control. For example, (UV) ultraviolet rays are undoubtedly the main cause of melanoma. UV rays can harm the DNA in skin cells. Sometimes these genes no lengthier work properly, and the affected cells may become cancer tumors Variations in color, shape, and size or feel of a mole are often the first noticed signs of melanoma. These variations can occur in an existing mole, or melanoma may look like a new or unusual-looking mole. The "ABCDE" rule helps memorize the warning signs of melanoma.
