Most non-melanoma skin cancers, like basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, are not usually deadly. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t pose their own complications of skin cancers. Since these cancers are usually present on your face, neck, and hands, they can lead to disfigurement, pain, bleeding, infections, and scaring, which in-and-of-themselves can lead to a lower quality […]

Melanoma, while perhaps the least common form of skin cancer, is by far the deadliest due to its tendency to spread quickly to other organs and lymph nodes.  Melanoma typically looks like a mole or can evolve from an already existing mole. And there are 5 distinct elements to look for in a potentially cancerous mole. Think of them as the ABCDE’s of how to detect melanoma:  A – asymmetricalB – […]

Practicing medicine is an inexact science. The body is a complex machine with nuanced capabilities and shortcomings. It is not a simple algorithm where X+Y=Z. Factors like lifestyle, diet, environmental considerations, and family history all add their own flavour on how a person will react to any illness. That means doctors are not only asked to practice “textbook science,” but […]
