Other Skin Growths to Watch For
Suspicious moles aren’t the only concern. Be aware of other growths as well:
- Actinic Keratoses: Rough, scaly patches from sun damage; can develop into squamous cell carcinoma.
- Basal Cell Carcinomas: Pearly or waxy bumps, often found on sun-exposed skin.
- Squamous Cell Carcinomas: Firm, reddish nodules or flat lesions with crusted surfaces.
- Seborrheic Keratoses: Harmless brown or black growths that look like they’re “stuck on,” but can sometimes be confused with cancer.
