Melanoma Treatment in Brooklyn, NY & Upper East Side, NY
If you suspect you may have melanoma, it's crucial to seek a consultation with a skilled dermatologist immediately. Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, capable of spreading rapidly throughout the body if left untreated. Early detection significantly increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
Understanding the signs of melanoma is key. At Kleydman Dermatology, Dr. Kleydman can educate you on what to look for, such as changes in moles or new, unusual growths on your skin. Regular self-examinations and professional screenings are vital for catching melanoma early.
Symptoms of Melanoma include:
- Dark streaks around nails
- Changes in existing moles
- New patches of skin that resemble scars
- Evolution of age spots into freckle-like spots
- Unfamiliar spots or patches on the skin
Anyone can develop melanoma, regardless of skin type or race. Factors that increase risk include excessive UV exposure, frequent use of tanning beds, and a history of severe sunburns. Genetic predispositions may also play a role.
