Any mole which has an irregular board or irregular coloring should be examined by a physician. An lesion that changes color or shape should also be checked. Chronic itching in a mole is another sign of possible problems. Treatment of skin cancer involved surgical removal of the lesion. Most skin cancers are treated in the physician s office using local anesthetic.
Warts are contagious.
They usually appear three to eight weeks after exposure to the virus. Some people, having developed an immunity, do not catch the disease, but in other instances, one will find numerous cases in which there are several people in the family with warts. Contagion occurs by direct contact. Some people develop an immunity after contracting warts resulting in spontaneous healing. This is caused by the natural body defense system, but does not occur in all people.
