☀️ Yes — sunspots can turn into skin cancer.
This dark, irregular spot may look small, but it’s actually a melanoma in situ — specifically, a lentigo maligna that developed from a sunspot.
That’s why it’s so important to remember the ABCDEs of melanoma:
🔹 Asymmetry
🔹 Border irregularity
🔹 Color changes
🔹 Diameter
🔹 Evolving
In this case, we treated the melanoma with Mohs micrographic surgery, which allows us to precisely remove cancer cells while conserving as much healthy tissue as possible. The result? A high cure rate and a well-healed scar one year later.
💡 Protect your skin with sunscreen, schedule regular skin checks, and don’t ignore changes in your spots or moles — early detection saves lives.
