The doctor emphasized that the pimples that do not disappear within 4 weeks call for a doctor immediately, explaining that this type of continuous pimples can be a symptom of skin cancer.
He added, if you notice a pimple that does not heal or a bleeding spot easily after washing the face, this may be a dangerous signal, and it should not be ignored.
He pointed out that the stains that are bleeding constantly, are fragile and turn into a trick again and again, can also be a sign of basal cell cancer, which is the most common type of skin cancer, where approximately 3.6 million Americans are diagnosed annually, according to the skin cancer institution.
Sujay explained that this type of cancer starts from the basal cells responsible for the production of new skin cells, and it can appear in the form of, a spoiler that does not heal, a bump in the skin and shiny, white white spot, flat scaly lesion or a dark spot that tends to brown or blue.
The doctor emphasized that skin cancer is not limited to areas exposed to the sun only, but can appear in places that are not reached by sunlight, such as genitals or under nails, indicating the importance of examining any abnormal changes in the skin or nails, including dark lines inside the nail, which may be an indication of melanoma.
Sujay stressed that sun protection in the stages of childhood and adolescence plays a major role in reducing the risk of infection later, but stressed that “prevention is possible at any time, saying: It was not too late to use sunscreen and start the skin protection routine.”
Experts are advised to perform a periodic examination of the skin at least once a year, and increase tests for the most vulnerable people, such as light -skinned people or who have a family history with skin cancer.
