Normal vs. Abnormal Skin Moles: Can You Tell the Difference? – ABC News

11 May 2012 / 0 Comments / in Cancer, Skin Care/by Kara McCarthy

The A, B, C, D & E’s of Skin Cancer: (Watch video below)

Learning how to check yourself for signs of skin cancer is the easiest and most important step in reducing your skin cancer risks.
Stand in front of a mirror and check your entire body for moles, freckles, birthmarks or other unusual spots. Use a hand mirror to check any hard-to-see places. Examine each one, and if you notice any showing any signs of the symptoms described below, contact your dermatologist and schedule a skin exam immediately.

Asymmetrical: Most early melanomas are asymmetrical, meaning a line through the middle would not create matching halves. Common moles are round and symmetrical.

Borders: The borders of early melanomas are often uneven and may have scalloped, notched and fuzzy edges. Common moles have smoother, more even borders.

Colors: Common moles usually are a single shade of brown. Varied shades of brown, tan or black can be the first sign of melanoma, and may progress to the colors red, white and blue.

Diameter: Early melanomas usually grow larger than common moles — generally to at least the size of a pencil eraser (about 6mm or ¼” in diameter).

Evolving: When a mole is evolving (changing), see a doctor. Be alert for any change — in size, shape, color, elevation, bleeding, itching, crusting or any other trait — in an existing mole.

Skinetics extends treatments to those with cancer

07 Jun 2010 / 0 Comments / in Cancer, Skin Care/by Kara McCarthy

“Orange-based Aesthetician Kara McCarthy, Owner of Skinetics completes certification in oncology esthetics and expands her practice to provide customized skin care for individuals with, or recovering from cancer. Her certification, earned through Clinical Oncology Esthetics Training facilitated by Touch For Cancer, prepares professional Aestheticians to provide safe, personalized treatments to individuals with health-challenged skin.

Through Clinical Oncology Esthetics (COE), Kara McCarthy underwent extensive training in understanding how cancer and therapy treatments affect the body at the dermal and lymphatic level. The program explored the side effects of cancer therapies, how those are further compounded by various medications and the importance of proper sanitation to support weakened immune systems. Certification also trained Kara McCarthy how to perform gentle, yet effective protocols using compatible skin care ingredients”.
