I have a family history of having skin cancer. When i was at MEPS (military entrance processing station) A mole came into question. That was about 2 months ago. Now i am getting it removed. However, this seems like a very serious thing because the doctor wanted it of NOW! I looked up the signs of melanoma and it seems to fit. What do i do if anything?
Skin Cancer?
That's a good question to ask the doctor.
Wear the highest sunblock with UV\UA protection available.
Wear protective clothing including a hat.
Keep your skin moisturized. They make unscented lotions.
Avoid being outside when the sun's at it''s worse for damaging the skin - between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M.
Make it a point to have regular checkups with a dermatologist to keep an eye on your skin.
Eat right, drink enough fluid, exercise, and get enough rest. Why? Because a body that's in peak physical condition stands a better chance of repairing cellular damage before it becomes cancerous.
Avoid tobacco smoke in any form and in any manner - don't smoke and don't breathe anyone's second hand smoke.
Avoid skin irritants - perfumes, colognes, strong soaps.
Reply:talk to the doctor who is having it removed. If they were worried they would tell you. The MEPS people freak over any little thing because once you are in the military you are their problem and the last thing they need is to find out you have cancer at bootcamp.
Reply:Just let the doctors do what needs to be done. They will work with you and get you back to full health. The have a great cancer treatment facility in Bethesda MD. I wish you the best of luck and God bless you.
Reply:There is a good website I think you should visit, the science of which deals with all skin conditions.
If you find it difficult to understand, we are very familiar with this science and can put it across in layman's terms.
Take care.
Reply:there are lots of kinds of skin cancer. most of which do not need to be concerned with. The two you do need to worry about are melanoma and squamous cell.
i would find out if the history was of something like basal cell or something.
Reply:Have it surgically removed, and the doctor will have it sent to pathology for biopsy. If it is melanoma, you will need to go back for a wide excision and sentinel node biopsy.
Reply:Nothing...let them remove it. The doctor wants it off now, so it doesnt have the chance to grow anything.
