Skin Cancer Treatment In Ogden

Your skin accounts for over 15% of your body mass and is your first line of defense against the elements. One of the primary elements your skin defends against is solar radiation. Solar radiation causes skin to darken as it becomes damaged and ultimately burns the skin. This damage never goes away, but accumulates over time.
Your body develops moles which are concentrations of melanin, a skin pigment which helps protect against radiation (among other things). Moles on the body should be watched so as to make sure they do not become cancerous. If you notice any of the following warning signs of skin cancer, contact our Weber County skin care center immediately. A malignant skin tumor can be extremely dangerous to its propensity to metastasize (spread) quickly to other parts of the body

Skin cancer warning signs include:
- Asymmetrical moles
- Moles with uneven borders
- Discolored mole
- Diameter in excess of ΒΌ of an inch
- Changing in size or shape “Ugly Duckling” moles that look different from others
