1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime.\u00a0 Everyone is at risk, including people of color. In fact, skin cancer is often missed in people of color.\u00a0 A local dermatologist explains what patients are overlooking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perrysburg, Ohio \u2014 Many patients with darker skin tones believe they are not at risk for skin cancer. According to Dr. Hope Mitchell of Mitchell Dermatology, that assumption is one of the biggest reasons diagnoses are delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkin cancer is less common in people of color, but when I do diagnose it, it\u2019s often at a later stage,\u201d said Dr. Mitchell. \u201cThat\u2019s where it becomes more serious.\u201d One reason is that it doesn\u2019t always show up where patients expect. \u201cIn darker skin tones, we often see skin cancer on the palms, the soles of the feet, or under the nails,\u201d she said. \u201cThose are areas most people are not checking.\u201d Dr. Mitchell says many patients dismiss early warning signs because they do not associate them with skin cancer. \u201cIf something is new, changing, or not healing, it\u2019s worth having it looked at,\u201d she said. \u201cI see patients wait longer than they should because it didn\u2019t look concerning to them.\u201d During Skin Cancer Awareness Month in May, she is encouraging patients to become more familiar with their skin and to pay attention to subtle changes. Mitchell Dermatology, with offices in Perrysburg and Fremont, provides medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including comprehensive skin evaluations and skin cancer screenings. Dr. Mitchell treats patients across a wide range of skin types and emphasizes that awareness plays a critical role in early detection. \u201cThe goal isn\u2019t fear,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s awareness. When patients know what to look for, we catch things earlier.\u201d For more information, visit\u00a0mitchellderm.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mayo es el Mes de Concienciaci\u00f3n Sobre el C\u00e1ncer de Piel | El 4 de Mayo es el Lunes del Melanoma<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 de cada 5 estadounidenses desarrollar\u00e1 c\u00e1ncer de piel a lo largo de su vida. Todos est\u00e1n en riesgo, incluidas las personas de color. De hecho, el c\u00e1ncer de piel a menudo se pasa por alto en las personas de color. Un dermat\u00f3logo local explica qu\u00e9 es lo que los pacientes no miran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perrysburg, Ohio \u2014 Muchos pacientes con tonos de piel m\u00e1s oscuros creen que no est\u00e1n en riesgo de c\u00e1ncer de piel. Seg\u00fan la doctora Hope Mitchell, de Mitchell Dermatology, esa suposici\u00f3n es una de las principales razones por las que los diagn\u00f3sticos se retrasan. “El c\u00e1ncer de piel es menos com\u00fan en personas de color, pero cuando lo diagnostico, suele ser en una fase m\u00e1s avanzada,” dijo la Dra. Mitchell. “Ah\u00ed es donde se vuelve m\u00e1s grave.” Una raz\u00f3n es que no siempre aparece donde los pacientes esperan. “En tonos de piel m\u00e1s oscuros, a menudo vemos c\u00e1ncer de piel en las palmas, en las plantas de los pies o bajo las u\u00f1as,” dijo. “Esas son \u00e1reas que la mayor\u00eda de la gente no revisa.” La Dra. Mitchell dice que muchos pacientes descartan las se\u00f1ales de alerta temprana porque no las asocian con el c\u00e1ncer de piel. “Si algo es nuevo, est\u00e1 cambiando o no est\u00e1 sanando, merece la pena que lo revisen,” dijo. “Veo pacientes esperar m\u00e1s de lo que deber\u00edan porque no les preocupaba.” Durante el Mes de Concienciaci\u00f3n sobre el C\u00e1ncer de Piel en mayo, los pacientes se familiarizan mejor con su piel y se prestan atenci\u00f3n a los cambios sutiles. Mitchell Dermatology, con consultas en Perrysburg y Fremont, ofrece servicios de dermatolog\u00eda m\u00e9dica y est\u00e9tica, incluyendo evaluaciones cut\u00e1neas completas y cribados de c\u00e1ncer de piel. La Dra. Mitchell atiende a pacientes de una amplia variedad de tipos de piel y enfatiza que la concienciaci\u00f3n juega un papel fundamental en la detecci\u00f3n precoz. “El objetivo no es el miedo,” dijo. “Es la concienciaci\u00f3n. Cuando los pacientes saben qu\u00e9 buscar, detectamos las cosas antes.” Para m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n, visite mitchellderm.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
