How do you know if a black spot might be skin cancer (photo)?

Doctor's Answer

Hi, any pigmented skin lesion that looks suspicious should be consulted with your doctor.

Signs favouring malignancy are:

  1. changing in size or shape with time

  2. ulcerating

  3. uneven color of the lesion

  4. bizarre appearance.
