How to Identify Cancerous Moles

We all know that too much unprotected exposure to the sun might lead to skin cancer that manifests itself on the skin, and might look like a mole or a beauty spot.  But do you know how to identify a mole that may be more than just a spot? It's never a bad idea to learn a few basics about the warning signs of a possibly cancerous mole. Here you'll first find a quiz that will allow you to test your knowledge, followed by an explanation of how to identify them correctly. I hope you only ever need to use it to reassure yourselves it is a regular mole and nothing more.

In order to easily identify the difference between moles and possible cancer tumors, you need to remember the A.B.C.D rules:

Asymmetry: If one side of the mole does not match the other and it has an uneven shape, be sure to have a doctor look at it.

Border: See if the edges of the mole are blurred, pigmented and look like the mole is out of its "imaginary outline". If this is the case, it might be cancer and you need to have a doctor examine it.

Color: If a mole is uneven in color and has many shades of black, brown, red or other colors, it is a clear sign that something might be wrong with it.

Diameter: Keep track and see if any moles you have show an increase in size and shape. Typically, melanomas are at least 6mm in diameter, about the same as a pencil.

A part from the A.B.C.D rules, also be on the lookout for any moles that grow higher and become elevated and ones that become firm. Remember this information and give yourself regular checkups, go see a doctor is you find anything suspicious. Early detection can save your life and the lives of your loved ones.  THIS IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION, ALWAYS CONSULT YOU PHYSICIAN BEFORE HAVING ANY PARTICULAR FOOD/ MEDICATION/EXERCISE/OTHER REMEDIES.

What causes migraine?

Adults who suffer from migraine are more likely to have 

incomplete network of arteries supplying blood flow to the 

brain, a new study has revealed.

The research found that variations in arterial anatomy lead 

to asymmetries in cerebral blood flow that might contribute 

to the process triggering migraines.

The arterial supply of blood to the brain is protected by a 

series of connections between the major arteries, termed the 

"circle of Willis."

People with migraine, particularly migraine with aura, are 

more likely to be missing components of the circle of Willis.

Study's lead author, said that people with migraine actually 

have differences in the structure of their blood vessels - this 

is something you are born with.

"These differences seem to be associated with changes in 

blood flow in the brain, and it's possible that these changes 

may trigger migraine, which may explain why some people, 

for instance, notice that dehydration triggers their 

headaches," he said.

In a study of 170 people from three groups - a control group 

with no headaches, those who had migraine with aura, and 

those who had migraine without aura - the team found that 

an incomplete circle of Willis was more common in people 

with migraine with aura (73 percent) and migraine without 

aura (67 percent), compared to a headache-free control 

group (51 percent).

The team used magnetic resonance angiography to examine 

blood vessel structure and a non-invasive magnetic 

resonance imaging method , called Arterial 

spin labelling (ASL), to measure changes in cerebral blood 

flow.
