s my understanding that melanoma is primarily caused by skin damage received from sunburns as a child. I think our number one precaution in preventing skin cancer is monitor ourselves very closely and to make regular visits to the dermatologist. Avoiding sunburns at any age is always wise but unfortunately the damage done in childhhood is the one thing we can't change.
I have a mole that matches your description completely. I have had it checked many times.
Hello,
The problem of enlarged pores on face or facial pores is commonly associated with excessive oiliness and acne. The excessive oiliness of the skin is in turn triggered by the hormonal changes in the body.
Large pores can be easily dealt with proper cleansing and frequent toning and moisturizing of the skin. Other treatments to consider include microdermabrasion, skin resurfacing lasers and chemical skin peels.
Currently manufacturers of skin products have been trying to provide a wide array of skin care products to suit each skin type. For an individual to get the best skin care, one should follow a particular regimen of cleansing, toning , exfoliating and moisturizing.
As one grows older however, exfoliation may damage the thinning skin. Cleansing and moisturizing are still essential as one ages. The use of sunscreen for the face is still a must.
I have been getting dark blotches on my face, mostly on my cheeks and upper lip. They are darker than my skin color and are not going away. Not sure what they are, is it sun damage or something else. The discoloration on my upper lip is what bothers me the most. Please help!!
A phantom sensation of ants or other insects crawling on their skin is a sign of low estrogen.

Hello,
The changes in your areolas are caused by the increase of blood volume and circulation. Additionally, the increase of estrogen and progesterone also causes skin pigmentation that may also attribute to the darkening. This is true in pregnancy or any hormonal changes in the body. So you need to check out both of these.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Lobular means that the abnormal cells start growing in the lobules, the milk-producing glands at the end of breast ducts. Carcinoma refers to any cancer that begins in the skin or other tissues that cover internal organs — such as breast tissue. In situ or “in its original place” means that the abnormal growth remains inside the lobule and does not spread to surrounding tissues. People diagnosed with LCIS tend to have more than one lobule affected.
It works by blocking the enzyme aromatase (found in the body’s muscle, skin, breast and fat) which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. By eliminating estrogen, cancer cells that have positive estrogen receptors cannot grow.
Side effects are certainly not pleasant to anyone,but it has been proven that Arimidex can lower considerably a cancer recurrence.
Best wishes to both you and your mom.
Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.
Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
