Specializes in Wound care

Black moles: Women and men can both get melanomas due to excessive sun exposure and genetics. Melanomas do not discriminate. Any exposed skin can get them including your feet and toes. Be sun careful and use sunscreen SPF 30 and above, hats and limit your time out in the sun.
