2. Dark moles on your scalp
Most people think that signs of melanoma are big, obvious, and visible. And most of the time, they are. However, in almost every case of melanoma, individuals forget to check one major area for symptoms: the scalp.
You probably think that your hair protects your head from any damage, however, that’s not really the case. Your scalp is the area most heavily exposed to sunlight. This can cause extreme damage and irritation, forming waxy bumps and strange moles. These normally form on your scalp line and can be itchy, causing them to spread throughout the top of your head.
Be particularly mindful of moles. Moles that randomly appear on the body, especially the scalp, are questionable. If you are becoming suspicious of the possibility of melanoma, check your scalp for any tender bumps or moles. You can also have your scalp line checked by a doctor to verify their appearances.
