$We LOVE to hear back from our patients, thank you for sharing your experience! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ \"I have been seeing Dr. Secretan for the past 3 years and I have to say every single time he impresses me. He is helpful, kind, knowledgeable and a meticulous surgeon. He is a perfectionist and you can tell he loves what he does. I have to say, his office needs to expand because he offers cosmetic treatments and they are the best in town. The ladies are so kind, accommodating and awesome at what they do. Their hair removal lasers are no joke. Very happy with my experiences I highly recommend everyone there.\"$
$We are here for you. We share our experiences and knowledge because we are passionate about skin health and aesthetic wellness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is a picture of melanoma that has formed on the skin. Melanoma occurs when something goes wrong in the melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) that give color to your skin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Normally, skin cells develop in a controlled and orderly way — healthy new cells push older cells toward your skin\'s surface, where they die and eventually fall off. But when some cells develop DNA damage, new cells may begin to grow out of control and can eventually form a mass of cancerous cells. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To help you identify characteristics of unusual moles that may indicate melanomas or other skin cancers, think of the letters ABCDE: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A is for asymmetrical shape. Look for moles with irregular shapes, such as two very different-looking halves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ B is for irregular border. Look for moles with irregular, notched or scalloped borders — characteristics of melanomas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ C is for changes in color. Look for growths that have many colors or an uneven distribution of color. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ D is for diameter. Look for new growth in a mole larger than 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ E is for evolving. Look for changes over time, such as a mole that grows in size or that changes color or shape. Moles may also evolve to develop new signs and symptoms, such as new itchiness or bleeding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Changes in the skin’s appearance may require further examination by your doctor. Melanoma can be treated successfully when it is detected early. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Questions? Drop them below 👇$
