Cancer, melanoma
A skin cancer that begins in cells called melanocytes that can grow together to form benign (not cancerous) moles.
A change in size, shape, or color of a mole can be a sign of melanoma.
It can be cured if detected early, before spread (metastasis) to other areas.
Diagnosis is confirmed by a biopsy of the abnormal skin.
Sun exposure can cause skin damage that can lead to melanoma
