Skin cancer is the most common cancer. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma Bud Norris Angels Jersey , squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Melanoma is the most rare, yet deadliest form of skin cancer, often appearing in new or changing moles on the skin. Fortunately, if detected early Brandon Phillips Angels Jersey , skin cancer is highly curable.

How to Detect Skin Cancer Early
Skin cancer screening is an essential part of early cancer detection. For those at high risk of skin cancer, seeing a dermatologist regularly is an important step toward ensuring any cancerous moles are found early. However, waiting for an annual doctor’s check-up is only one part of a healthy skin routine.

To stay proactive in between regular doctor visits, and to make sure each visit runs smoothly, suspicious spots should be monitored and watched closely for changes over time. During your doctor’s visit Ben Revere Angels Jersey , he or she will ask whether any of your moles have changed, as this is a warning sign of skin cancer. Images taken over time can help your dermatologist better evaluate your skin and address any pressing concerns. It is essential to get to know your skin and look for new or changing moles. Regular mole checks at home will ensure that you find any warning signs early, and are able to talk to your doctor right away.

Gout is a common disease and often presents suddenly with a painful joint. The most common and well-recognized symptom is swelling of the joint in the big toe where it joins the foot. This can be extremely painful and enlarged and if not treated the pain will last about 10 days and can cause lasting damage with repeated attacks. The area can be red, hot, inflamed and very painful or tender. Kidney stones can form due to gout and can cause back pain. Other joints such as the knee, fingers and heel can also be affected. Some people get lumps on the rim of the ear or other parts of the body near joints under the skin and these are called tophi. Over the long term there can be deformity of joints and there can be many large lumps under the skin. Nowadays with proper treatment this is less likely. The symptoms can last from three to ten days and often get better even without treatment. The next attack may occur many months or even years later. Usually (and fortunately) only one joint is affected at a time and the symptoms of the swelling and pain start within a day. The definite diagnosis or determining if the arthritis is due to gout may involve drawing fluid from the joint and looking for crystals of uric acid. People may have an elevated uric acid also called hyperuricemia but have no symptoms. Later they may develop acute gouty arthritis where the joint is affected. Almost three fourths of people with gout will develop it in the big toe at some point of time. In between attacks the gout is said to be in an interval or intercritical phase and finally some people get chronic tophaceous (with the tophi) gout.
