7 SKIN SIGNS NOT TO IGNORE 😮 DERMATOLOGIST

[@debrawarrick2911]

My advise to women especially, be persistent about changes you notice in ur skin. When my dad got diagnosed with Basal Cell, I followed up with a dermatologist regarding a new small, round flesh colored bump on my forehead...he said it was an enlarged oil gland...a year later, however, I said I wanted it removed...so he did a biopsy...and it came back positive for basal cell carcinoma.

[@noneofurbusiness5223]

@DebraWarrick Yes! I had similar on border of lip 💋 for yrs. *several* derms ignored it, then it got bigger. They still ignored it but It said I wanted a biopsy. It was squamous cell carcinoma! I now have a 1 inch vertical scar below my lip.. Grateful, didn't need chemo,, etc

[@meglucas2593]

I had a spot that fit one of the things mentioned in this video so I made an appt with a dermatologist. Turns out that spot is a squamous cell carcinoma and it was caught early. I wouldn’t have had it checked out if I hadn’t watched this video. Thank you doc for making these videos and for your expertise!

[@kathysharp7551]

I had no idea that May was skin cancer awareness month. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and educating us about it!

I have skin cancer and this was a great video! Thank you. I use my sun screen every day and see my dermatologist every six months! Have a great Thursday! Mine were flaky round spots that were pink sometimes or very light tan. It was also itchy.

im 33 and 2 years ago they discovered skin cancer in the face and my back but nothing seem to be damaging my body as of my age.. but i have not done any new operations on my body or anything.. im swedish so im not sure whats its called but my face is very damaged at this time...

[@inversodocentro]

I'm so glad you are dedicating the week to this subject. My mother was recently diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on her nose and as much as it is a "not-so-bad" kind of cancer, because it is on the nose she will need plastic surgery and it will impact her face and self steem. The crazy thing is that we saw it growing for years and years and never thought about it as a threat. So thank you doctor Dray for making these videos. I know for sure they will help lots of people who had no idea how skin cancers could look or feel like to look for professional guidance as soon as possible.

[@michellewanner3921]

We need more dermatologists!! My elderly parents called to get an appt for some suspicious areas and can’t get in until January!

[@AllyKit]

I know it’s harder for new patients to get appointments, but if they have an area of concern, make sure they mention it when they call. The assistant might assume they are calling for a routine body check. My derm is always backed up like that but if I have something suspicious pop up, they will do their best to fit me in asap. My elderly parents were always extremely polite and did not advocate for themselves well. You are sweet to care about them ❤️

People this is the most important video . I am 2 melanoma survivor. Be your own doctor. If it looks strange go no run and have it checked.

[@judithdeprisco9364]

Thanks so much for this very important information, Dr. Dray. As an Army brat, I often lived in tropical and semi-tropical areas while growing up. No winter, just endless summer. Everyone in my family was tan, all the time, but we’re also Italian American and kind of started out that way. My first diagnosis for basal cell was when I was 28, the second when I was 30 and the third when I was 33. All the lesions were on the center of my face, tip of the nose, where labial folds would eventually develop and just halfway down my zygomatic bone. Because of the lesion locations, they were removed by a plastic surgeon, who did a great job. I became devoted to sunscreen use, though there wasn’t much on the market besides Neutrogena, which I grew to really, truly hate. To bolster protection, I used only mineral makeup, wore hats and gloves whenever possible outside. Because I literally don’t leave home without it, I’m incredibly grateful that there are now many sunscreens available from which to choose and appreciate your frequent reviews of sunscreens- I’ve found several new ones through your videos, some worked well, some didn’t (I politely ignore your reviews of Neutrogena products). Thanks so much for your hard work in keeping us so well informed.

[@ivanahanus5101]

Thank you for the Basal cell carcinoma update. I have had 3 removed and now regularly check my skin and do sun protection. I used to be in the sun unprotected in my early years. now as a senior citizen I take skin care seriously. better late than never.

[@debrakirkley4590]

[@SilverGirl-925]

[@walkingonrocks5137]

After trying multiple things over the course of months to clear my skin, I had to face the probability that the bump near my eye was skin cancer. When I went to the doctor he told me it wasn’t skin cancer. I persisted in my request of a referral to a dermatologist. The dermatologist knew before the biopsy results that it was Basal Cell. Since we caught it early the Mohs surgery was very quick and uncomplicated. Do check your skin regularly with a magnifying mirror and don’t be afraid to get a second opinion!

[@Ashaliyeva]

I’m sorry to hear that your initial doc brushed it off, but I’m really glad you spoke up and had it checked by a dermatologist!!

[@Ashaliyeva]

I’m also glad you caught it quick and that the removal went well, too. 💗

[@Livinginpeace1]

How long did you have it

[@Hereforthelaughss]

I had a "mole" show up on my scalp behind my ear in my hair and I watched it grow and change color (both of my parents have had skin cancer) so I was worried and got it checked out. Thankfully it wasn't cancerous but I was happy to get it removed and checked.

[@barefootcontessa3112]

OMG, that last one is exactly what I’ve got on my lower leg, I’ve often wondered how I could have got a scar where I’m sure I’ve never had an injury. It started years ago and I’ve just ignored it, until a couple of weeks ago, it’s changed colour, started itching and doubled in size. I had serious sun burn on my legs 45 years ago so never made the link until now, I think I’d better go and get it checked out. Many thanks to Dr Dray for making this video, and to KZbin for putting it in my recommendations even if it is two years old.

[@highaloft]

Thanks Dr Dray for emphasizing that darker skin tones can also develop skin cancers. A few years ago i was evaluated for a spot slowly growing on the sole of my foot (under a toe), and the sense of urgency my doctors tried to instill in me to get it seen by a specialist and then get it biopsied (it was Christmas Eve so he ordered an emergency biopsy) told me it could be serious - a rare type of melanoma, "acral lentiginous melanoma." Fortunately the biopsy didn't find cancer, though they still recommended it be removed. And it was in a spot one rarely bothers to check. It seems that although rare, it accounts for a decent percentage of melanomas in darker-skinned people (just bec lighter skins are more prone to more types).

I had a pimple pop up on my upper lip. I hadn't had a pimple in 30 years. It didn't go away and I popped it and it came right back. 3 months later I saw my derm. He removed it and said a few more weeks it would have developed into a squamous cell carcinoma. He told me to never let one of those go and to call him asap if I get another!

Happy Thursday! Thank you for this video! Being able to see the pictures is a great idea because we can at least be more alert to certain signs on our face! With summer coming up here in Canada we need to be aware because this is the season where there is a higher risk of developing cancer. Prevention is the best way to educate people so that they can detect and treat the problem as soon as possible!

Will you do a video on Squamous cell? My husband had basal cell and I had a squamous cell. Mine was frozen off. We now go yearly to get checked as we are in our 60's, part of the disco generation that loved a good tan!

[@juliabinford6500]

The pictures were very helpful! I have a much better idea of what to look for. I know it’s a long shot, but I’m using retinol body cream to try to stop some of these before they get started.

Oh, no ! I think I have that but I tried n it is staying there for over 2 months. It's right at one of my tip nostrils and I thought it was due to wearing mask since I work in a park.

Thank you for this info, Dr. Dray! It's so important. I have had rough red skin patches sometimes in the face or neck, also one in my leg close to my foot that was red and soft to the touch (can't avoid feeling a little anxious when they appear), but I think these are due to stress and skin dehydration, as they go away by themselves or when I consistently moisturize the area. You're the best, thanks to you, I started to take better care of my skin , and also ordered my first Korean skincare products 🤭

Hi, Dr. Dray :-) Is octocrylene a common eye irritant? This may just be correlation, but every time I've used an SPF that contained this ingredient, my eyes burned like the dickens. Granted, these were all American sunscreens, whose formulas have the migratory capacity of geese; they can find their way to your eye from your elbow. But I'm wondering if I should avoid it in Korean sunscreens too. I've tried the rare American sunscreen without it, and they still stung but nowhere near the literally blinding pain of the others. Perhaps I have a sensitivity. Thanks, as always, for your fun and informative content!
