Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer which, if not removed early while it is thin, spreads internally and is usually fatal. It is often ignored until too late because, in the early stages, it may look harmless and cause no discomfort. Many people don't realize that something small on their skin may kill them if not treated promptly.

Melanoma is the third most common and the most deadly form of skin cancer. It accounts for only 4 percent of all skin cancer cases, but causes the largest proportion of skin cancer deaths.If caught early, there is a more than 90 percent survival rate for patients if they know what to look for.The American Cancer Society and other professional organizations suggest following theABCD rule to detect moles that may be cancerous:A is for asymmetrical: one half of the moledoes not match the other half.
