4. Melanoma Warning Signs – Suspicious Moles

A dot that changes color, grows, itches, or bleeds may be a skin cancer warning. Look for the ABCDE warning signs:

• Asymmetry
• Border irregularity
• Color variation
• Diameter > 6 mm
• Evolving shape or symptoms

Step-by-Step: What to Do

1. Take a Picture Monthly: Track any changes.
2. Schedule a Dermatologist Visit: Especially if any ABCDE criteria are met.
3. Request a Biopsy: Better to be safe than sorry.

5. Allergic Reactions or Bug Bites

What It Means:

Clusters of itchy red dots can be due to:

• Bed bug bites
• Mosquitoes or fleas
• Allergic skin reactions

Usually temporary and not dangerous, but still annoying.

Step-by-Step: What to Do

1. Apply Cold Compress: To reduce itching and swelling.
2. Use Antihistamines: Oral or topical.
3. Clean Area & Monitor: If redness spreads or you develop a fever, it could be an infection.

🚑 When Should You Be Worried?

• The dots don’t fade with pressure (non-blanching)
• Sudden appearance with fever or fatigue
• Associated with bruising, bleeding gums, or nosebleeds
• Growing, irregular, or bleeding moles
• Rapid spread over the body

Your skin may just be trying to tell you something important. Listen carefully.
