How do I know if I need to see a dermatologist?

Your skin is your largest organ and it covers almost all of your body. Not every rash or bump requires a look from a dermatologist, but there are several signs that indicate you should make an appointment for an assessment:

• Severe sunburn
• Change in a mole
• A new skin growth
• A rash that won’t go away
• Hair loss

In addition, a sore that won’t heal is also cause to see your dermatologist at CSC Steil Dermatology.

What should I look for in a changing mole?

Most moles are harmless, but some can be a deadly form of cancer called melanoma. Dermatologists recommend a simple formula — ABCDE — to help you determine if your mole is cause for concern. Here’s what to look for on your arms, legs, head, neck, buttocks, and in between your fingers and toes:

A - Asymmetry

The two halves of the mole don’t match.

B - Border

The mole’s borders are irregular.

C - Color

The mole is multi-colored.

D - Diameter

The diameter of the mole is too big.

E - Evolving

The mole doesn’t match the appearance of your other moles.
