What Are The Symptoms Of Skin Cancer?

Hi Doctor, I am an asian and I have brown skin. All over my body except my legs and hands, I have dark brown spots. it is more than 2cm in diameter. I went to couple of doctors, none of them took the sample or recommended any dermentalogist. the spots are getting bigger and darker everyday. I am not sure what it is exactly. Scared, if it is skin cancer. If it is it would be too late by the time i get diagnosed. At present I am relying on chineese medication. Still no use.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to consult a doctor if you have multiple dark areas on your skin measuring 2 cm or more in various areas of your body. Please fix an early appointment with the dermatologist and get a clinical opinion. You might also like to get a complete blood count done to know if you have any general medical condition that is causing the problem.

Chinese medicine composition is not known and it is possible that it can cause side effects and therefore increase in size and number. Please withhold the chinese medicine and get the condition confirmed. The dermatologist might do a skin biopsy if required. Have a nutritious and healthy diet and adequate amount of fluid and fresh juices. Please do not worry.
