She is an amazing lecturer! She communicates well. That said she was more informative on this subject than anyone I've every heard speak on skin lessions and cancer! Thank you for the information!!! I hope and pray she is teaching as many people as she can! I hope this information reaches all who need it.
While she may have been informative, did you notice her personal interests shining through? She took great enjoyment in making people look at a melanoma case that was very advanced and causing a lot of destruction but shrugged with disappointment at cases that were simple and easy... If you were stuck with her as a lecturer or doctor you would end up being scared. She enjoys watching people suffer and making other people watch! I would never have gone to the UCF, but this video confirmed to me that no one should. It's like watching lady gaga pretend to be a specialist healthcare provider while she finds a way to destroy them - it's like a cheap pop song that no one likes after 3 listens but somehow people think is valid... I am scared for the people who go there.
I’ve been working in Derm for about 1.5 years now, well regarding med Derm. This lecturer taught me more than I did working with 2 derms for that long.
THIS was an excellent presentation, Bless this doctor. I have as a lay person before referring people to board certified dermatologists for very different concerns. They all were confirmed to have cancers. Only because my own dad who was an MD was misdignosed by a dermatologist (old guy). My dad knew it was wrong and got a second diagnosis, a MOHS procedure, plastics to repair his face, then died from a tumor in his jaw. I am an RN now and advocate for continuing reassessment. Doctors are not infallible and learn from the cases they encounter. PLEASE ask for the highest expertise available.The system is designed for the lowest cost treatment, not the BEST.
In 1980 I was diagnosed with Clark's Level IV metastatic Melanoma. Three doctors at that time advised me to make my final arrangements. I am a one off. I've survived. But my father died from that disease.
Excellent presentation,I’m fair skinned and spent 35 years sailing open seas, have probably bought my dermatologist a pony for her daughter, lol. Please stay on top of any and all skin irregularities it is so important especially for our generation that used baby oil to tan last century.🌞
We are Baby Boomers, yes, make an annual appt with dermatologist, it could save your life. I sailed for 12 years, then cruiser for another 20. I have had 7 Melanomas removed! And i had no idea they were there. I make my grown sons go to as they had several bad sunburns
I HATE PRESENTATIONS... BUT I could not stop listening yo yours.. You explain things in a way that even I can understand. You were made to educate others and not bore them.. Really enjoyed your talk.. Thank you for being you..
Dr Lindsay Fox is the best lecturer I have ever seen/heard give full detailed information of various forms of skin cancers/legions etc etc. I really enjoyed listening and learning from her. If only all teachers were like this, more people would be clear on what to look for, when to get help for their skin conditions. Also what may or may not help when seeking the best type of treatment. Thank you so much for this video.
I have it now. I just turned 40 today and found out at 36 I had small cell lung cancer, chemo and radiation…a year after that I got a one inch brain tumor so near to my spine that I had to have more radiation. I had clean scans and then this birthmark I had for years started to grow and it was flat. It got darker. I was at the cancer center every three weeks no one noticed it. From a flat small birthmark it grew a bit and I truly thought it was all the weight I had lost, maybe it just stretched out. Now it is black, in the shape of a heart and I guess I have one on my back but I’ve never scene it. Months went on, I now have after it itching a bit it turned into a black heart. My nurse has told me it can go anywhere outside or inside my body. I am very fearful. I have been fighting cancer for years now. They told me I only had 2-3 years and that was just from the small cell lung cancer which isn’t in your lungs, however it’s under you lungs and makes super sized lymph nodes as the oncologist called them and what they do is push on your bronchial tubes. I have not expired and fought with chemo and radiation and like I said then the 1 inch tumor on the back of my skull and too close to my spine to do surgery and thankfully radiation did it’s job and it’s still shrinking after more than a year. I have fought both of this with clean scans under my lungs and my brain tumor is still shrinking. It turned from brown to black on the out side of my ear but near it, on my face. I finally get to go to a dermatologist by the end of the month (July). Since I got cancer 3.5 years ago on Valentine’s Day I found out I had the small cell lung cancer with nothing in my lungs. They told me I was very young to get that cancer and I thank God daily that even the 2-3 years I had I survived 3 years and 6 months. I am so tired. This skin cancer I pray doesn’t go inside. My sister passed away 2.5 weeks from cancer before I found out I had cancer. The cancer I have is the worst one I’ve been told. The fact that I was so naïve and thought that it could just be cut off and even though I went in every three weeks to the cancer center nobody really much paid attention to it so I didn’t really know what was going on and again I had had radiation twice 31 time and 10 on my head for the tumor in my brain and I had gotten through both of those things knowing that I was just on a temporary what they call terminal remission basically that even though my scans were clean it didn’t mean it still wasn’t what I had come to the cancer center with the day after I had surgery where they went down and checked all that out and did biopsies and said it was small cell lung cancer and then with the brain cancer I did it 10 with that and the mask being on my face was probably the worst part and I was so thankful that it was shrinking but I guess it’s not enough to get me to heaven because I’m quite sure as my brother is an RN that this battle I may not win. I am very worried and I do pray. I am a Christian and I feel like that Cancer has plagued so many people now it’s even worse than Covid. I don’t understand what I did to deserve this but if I could do it all over again I sure it’s heck would not leave behind three kids that still need me and a husband of 21 years that we got married when I was 19 years old and he was 21 almost 22 and I don’t wanna leave them all and that will leave my mother with only one child left which is my brother. I smoked most of this short life and for some reason are used to say when I was quite shorter that I didn’t think I’d live past 50 and how crazy is it that this all is happened and now I’m just waiting to see what they’re going to do but I’m scared to death because tonight when I talk to my brother I let him know because I’ve been hiding it from my family especially my mother because I did not want her to know and she also was the first one who took me to a tanning salon because she always went and now she doesn’t go to tanning salon she just plays out in the yard and I did that too but I have always had an olive color to my skin as I do have a different father than my sister and brother who both are/were and I am also the youngest obviously. There is no cancer on my mothers side but I tried to find my birth father medical history and he just blocked me. His whole family who only lived 20 minutes away. I am watching all of this and I haven’t seen the worst one yet is what I have. But I do feel like it’s mostly my fault I should have definitely been more aware and it didn’t occur to me like I said that I would have parts of my body cut off possibly or just that area is what I thought but my brother tells me that it routes and they may have to takeoff my ear and I’m not going to do that I will I have it done anywhere else on my back if it needs to be but I am not going to have my ear taken off it’s close to my ear but it’s not in my ear so I guess when I get to go to the dermatologist when they could get me in then I’ll find out what kind of battle for the third time in 3 1/2 years I’m going to have to fight this time when my body is already tired and I just don’t understand what I did to deserve this tired of talking about cancer I just wanna be happy and live. God bless all of you that are watching this for the same reason I am and I pray that you were able to catch it early and not have to go through any more cancer. I’ve seen so many leave their families too soon. I don’t want to be like that I am only 40 years old they told me that the first Cancer was very rare for my age and I haven’t been in the sun for at least 45 years if not more than that. But this just popped up one day and now I guess I got a pay for it. I keep praying but it is so hard to believe I’ll get through this especially how damaging it is to your organs and the fact it who knows where it will go next. I will pray for anyone that has it but many people that would be watching this video probably don’t believe in Jesus or God but I sure do and I hope that when my life is over everything I’ve learned it’s true and I’ll be able to see my sister and my grandma and so many in my family that have passed and since I rescued bully breeds for over a decade I hope every one of the dogs that I helped in someway are there as well. I spent my whole life being a mother while my husband was overseas and he now is a veteran and I truly think because of how he is and many of you may say no that won’t help but he takes a shower about once every week or two and he doesn’t brush his teeth hardly ever but guess who doesn’t have cancer, doesn’t have a cavity, is very healthy and I’m just this little 4‘11“ 95 pounds trying to fight for my life and I took baths and I did what what I was supposed to and I went to the dentist like I was supposed to until I turned 18 and then I didn’t go unless I had to and chemo made quite a few my teeth bad so they had to be taken out but I even got through that and now I sit here on TH-cam trying to figure out what the dermatologist is going to tell me and I have not yet seen one that looks as bad as mine. Again if you pray please pray for me and my family and I promise I will pray for you as well.
People don’t get cancer because they deserve it. People aren’t healthy because they deserve it. Your dna has been passed down that make you susceptible to health issues. Being out in the sun and smoking did not help but most people do not get the kind of cancers you are getting unless their dna was ripe for these health issues. It seems you have fought very hard to survive and I wish you well. But don’t waste your time wondering why you are having these health issues and other people don’t. It has nothing to do with your behavior, you and your other family members were born with the tendency to develop these awful cancers. Teach your children to use sunscreen, see the dermatologist for regular body checks, stay out of the sun as much as possible, avoid smoking, and eat healthy. Show them this video and tell them to get help as soon as they have a concern. Good luck in your efforts.
So sad to hear you are so ill with cancer and so young . I’m going to tell you if you will listen , to go to an apostolic Pentecostal church and live for God and let the pastor pray for you , God can heal you completely. Good luck . Prayers for you .
This is very helpful - so clearly explained and the photos support what she's saying. I've had various surgeries and treatments for skin cancer over quite a few years. Never been explained as well as watching this presentation.
I have the utmost respect for professionals like Dr. Fox who care for patients with skin lesions and cancers. As an older, adult male with fair skin and blue eyes, I've had experience with a number a therapies and treatments beginning in my early 20's never expecting to live to be in my 70's, and in otherwise excellent health. I've learned to pay close attention to changes in my skin, and to act on it when there's a question. Taking the utmost precaution when in the sun has paid off. And, continuing to do so may prevent me from looking like a prune or healed up hamburger when I'm in my 80's.
We were 19 in 1975. My college roommate was a lifeguard, and he had terrible acne which was not mentioned in this video. I think there had to be some basal cell carcinoma. He took medication and used suntan lotions. I forget the name of the medication...Weird that doctors don't like to talk about eating a healthy diet and avoiding toxins. I don't agree with avoiding the sun. There are tribes of people in other countries that are always in the sun, and they have no cancer. What about the Amish that live a relatively clean life, and tend to keep healthy, but they don't wear sunscreen, and they are outdoors a lot ?
Dr Fox gave an excellent presentation .I am in the North of England , not known for having a lot of sun and this leads many people say “Oh, it isn’t sunny here, I don’t need sunblock or sun screen.” I really hope that someone listening who can pass on photographs and information as well as Dr Fox would be wonderful, especially for older people with older , thinner skin.
I have only rarely heard such a clear and precise speaker. When you can count the errors on your fingers, that's usually a very good sign. Excellent presentation by an excellent presenter.
Amazing lecture. I’ve had almost all kinds of skin cancer, and an appointment with my dermatologist tomorrow. The new procedures would have saved my nose from the horrible excisions’ scars 25 years ago. 😞
What an amazing, and informative video! This lady really knows what she is talking about. The slides were helpful, and also amazing to see. I think some of us have the misconception that skin cancer cant be serious, but in all reality it can kill us. Thank you for sharing.
Working in the cancer world, I have known several people whose skin cancers killed them. I had a large melanoma removed from my back...I had ignored it for years, thinking, "Ehhhhhh, it's nothing..." The dermatologist told me that this was considerably dangerous,
Informative , one of the best explanations I've ever heard. I'd be willing to bet that this presentation's saved lives. There's more information in this video than we'd ever get from a visit to our busy doctors. I know someone that had some removals & she's still terrified but once she sees this I know it'll be extremely helpful as her doc just removed it but didn't explain things like it's depth or follow up. Well done, will be sharing this with everyone.
This was a very comprehensive, clearly photographed, well described, understandable, and detailed review of skin cancers. Dr. Fox's use of repetition was helpful to improve retention without being irritating. Though it was long, I will reccomend this video to friends with relatives with either many lesions, previously diagnosed lesions, or family histories. Thanks for reccomending annual rechecks for those with previous lesions.
The genetic component is important. I had melanoma on the same section of my neck as my great grandfather. He died from it at 42 but mine was treated. I also had to have reconstructive surgery at Johns Hopkins because a cancer had been treated with the freezing treatment and it did not get it all. It took years for anyone to believe me and by then the squamous cell carcinoma became invasive and required reconstructive surgery and 42 radiation treatments.
My mom always told me to regularly check my moles. But because I didn’t know what to look out for, i looked up some information and found this video. Now i know what i need to get checked out! Hopefully it will be nothing but even so thank you for this video!
This is a must for so many people to watch , having had Lintigo Maligna in situ I understand the importance of self examination and lucky I was detected on a routine examination , Also had Efudix chemotherapy on my face horrendous initially but killed all pre cancerous cells , stay safe stay out of direct sunlight espically when swimming outdoors
I think one of the best things I heard about basil cell was if you get one you're going to keep getting them calm down. I find out to be so true so I have been very active with the dermatologist for a couple of decades now My sister however was just diagnosed with melanoma on her lower back which had gone into the lymph nodes. If you're fair skinned especially if you have blue eyes make your dermatologist your new best friend this was the greatest presentation I learned so much Thank you Dr Fox You're awesome
Extremely interesting. I am a fair skinned English/Irish/North France background who lives in Canada and did not spend a lot of time in the sun as a youngster. To date I have has 27 squamous cell,, 32 basal cell and 60+ AK’s. I have had 5 Mohs surgeries, one three sites, two two sites for both bssal and squamous. Most of my squamous were invasive but have had several Bowen’s. This presentation was the most enlightening I have ever experienced; my dermatologists have never been this informative.
My story is a bit like yours - but only 1 AK that was removed from my face 5 years ago. It started to become active in late 2021, I tried different oils and ointments on the spot - they didn't work. However, I remembered this lecture where she mentioned Vitamin B3 might be helpful. I started taking B3 and Melatonin 2xs day and applied 2-3xs daily an organic E-Cream by Skin Essence with Calendula, Chickweed, Gotu Kola, Nettle, Olive Oil, Zinc, Oat Extract, White Kaolin Clay, etc. - originally I had ordered it for my son's Psoriasis, but thought it might help me too. To my delight the AK has healed up - and I'm only using the cream daily with Melatonin and a B-complex.
This lady is a great Dr..just the way she checks the body out..I have melanoma myself..This was very interesting..Learned some new things..God Bless u & TU..
As a nurse practitioner starting new career in derm I found this presentation very informative, and filled with lots of diagnostic tips. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you!
I love this presentation! It suggest to me a “good news/bad news” factor when studying and practicing dermatology. The good news Is that the cancers and lesions are visible, at least prior to metastasis, but the treatment is challenging because there are so many different types of lesions that might be difficult to identify. I guess, when in doubt, get a biopsy!
recently had half my nose amputated because of a basal cell that came up so fast I almost missed it. Was supposed to be just a small surgery. Hours and countless lidocaine shots later I was left with a patched up nose using my cheek tissue. Most pain I've ever had in my life and it's lasted 7 months and still now finally calming down. Take a closer look please and get checked out asap if you see anything unusual.
Very interesting. So far I have had several squamous cell carcinoma, which I noticed and showed to dermatologist at annual skin checks. Two have looked like warty looking things, gray or grayish green colored. First biopsy was negative . Lesion returned as a squamous cell carcinoma . I am fair and native of FL. My husband had an assortment . Family members noticed a changing dark spot on the back of his upper arm, which was melanoma. Looked like a grease smear. All people with a history of skin cancer really need to watch this video . I think patients with a history of skin cancers should use a dermatologist who uses the Mohs procedure. I use a different dermatologist for other skin conditions.
Thank you for the thorough lecture on / about skin cancers. My diagnosis of CLL / SLL means I am more susceptible to skin cancers. I am very appreciative of such a detailed and visual presentation, as I was concerned about the first samples / examples on my skin. Now I am relieved, and will pay more attention to my skin. Last summer, I avoided sun exposure, but now that you have made me more aware I plan to enjoy the sun again this year. (Gardener here)
+Is skin cancer also in our genes? My mom was diagnosed by her doctor with psoriasis all over her head.She was told to stop getting her hair permed,as the Dermatologist informed her scalp was too dry. She wad 80 and do you thonk she listened? No! I need oil treatments and will get one soon. When there is money involved into hair dressers and one doesn t have it.
Thanks for such an informative presentation. This should be compulsory viewing in New Zealand & Austrailia where you can get fried in 5 minutes sun exposure or reflection from water.
What an incredible dermatology presentation,Dr. Lindsay Fox! In -depth,but easy to understand,stellar slide presentation,her delivery is on point.Her patients are so blessed to have her. God bless you Dr. Fox.
See how often the mention of insurance and costs related to the removal of a benign skin lesion come up? Only in America is that even an issue worthy of mention in any medical seminar.
ONLY IN MURIKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO happy and feel SO privileged (even though developed countries' citizens really should NOT!) to be covered by Universal Healthcare and NOT to depend on..... "the American god"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's true and sad actually, even dental insurance is really expensive. And even if you have it, you have to search for good prices when having dental procedures because deductibles are just as expensive as insurance premiums.
The USA is a quite barbaric place to be, where one can lose everything due to illness. What a "kind and gentle" nation (George HW Bush referred to the USA this way). I have survived two cancers and it nearly ruined us. We would certainly be much better off had we not had to spend thousands over thousands of dollars for my mere survival.
We have much better access to health? Try living in Canada and or the UK and how long you wait for a dr appt. my friend died at age 24 bc they had already done all the work on her removing her tumor they could afford to do.
I think its important to include the types of Melanoma. My husband died of Nodular Melanoma from a mole that changed. The doctor initially wasn’t going to do a biopsy as he said it was anything. At the last minute he changed his mind. His melanoma looked almost completely circular.
I had a perfectly round black mole on my arm. No different than many moles I have had forever. I don't know when this one on my arm made me take notice. It was 2.5 mm. I went to derm when it started to change in color. Next day doc cut it out. Biopsy revealed it to be nodular melanoma pT3a. I am going in soon for a second wide excision and will have regular follow-up hereafter. That little round evenly colored, smooth mole was there for a year, maybe more. It looked so innocent but it is the deadliest of skin cancers. I hardly considered it, as I always looked for uneven border, color, surface and bleeding. I just found out a few weeks ago and am still in shock.. Who knows how far it has progressed or if it is elsewhere in my body? I am scrambling to get my affairs in order w/ updating my Will etc . I don't know if I am paranoid but I feel like this is serious. My overall health has been ill for at least two years. But who knows? There could be lots of reasons for feeling unwell. I think it is a duty our primary care doctors advise us to see a dermatologist to be checked and to even give a mini lecture on the skin, as the lecturer did in this great video. Please be vigilant, my friends. Check yourself, your kids, family, anyone you care about and warn them if you notice something you feel they should have checked out. Good luck.
I'm now concerned as i have a changed mole ,was once flat and is now raised and round.Iv asked for a referral because initially the doc just measured it .So now waiting to see dermatologist .I wish you well and please God I'm going to be ok also .🙏
People tend to ignore what they should pay strict attention to. I had family members lead the way, one uncle in particular who lived into his 90's. He looked terrific, but not without the help of professionals like Dr. Fox.
Very much so my parents r getting up there in age and I worry about this for them and myself as I have very fair skin and have had several severe sunburns that have blistered so I do worry about that stuff This video will definitely help to save lives!!!!!
Riveting presentation. My husband looks like an advanced dermatology final exam! It was lovely to learn about what to overlook. One thing I wish would change in the pharm-physician-patient triangle is the total lack of application information in Rx cremes. You leave the office with a fistful of prescriptions and a dazed look on your face. Then you get home and wonder: “ Was the 5-fluorouracil for my genital itching and the clobetasol for my face, or vice versa?” I do wish that the packaging was better!
wonderful presentation and informative. Very much needed to know at this time. I wish it was an offered coverage to get a full screening during a physical exam especially for those who have no one to help see the areas a single individual cannot examine by oneself. It would be a needed lifesaving exam such as mamagrams,.
Dr. Fox is wonderful! I know she is helping alot of people to be well-informed on this sometimes confusing subject. I was fortunate to find a great doctor who found skin cancer on my forehead that I had barely noticed because of it's light coloring. Please have your body screened if you are concerned about sun exposure etc. Big thank you to Dr. Fox!! 🏆🏆👏👏👏🏆🏆👏👏👏♥️
Thank you for sharing the lecture. Mr. Fox explains very simple for the basic person to understand…she doesn’t talk over your heard to understand what she is explaining… I would like to know more about liver spots from her…and a flat white spot that itches but isn’t raised. Thank you again University of California TV. Always enjoy your informative classes…
Great lecture. I've had about 20 skin cancer surgeries in the past 20 years, including one small melanoma .75mm thick. This is the first time I've ever heard of Nicotinamide. That's something I want to check out. By the way, if you're a young person.....don't be like me. Use sunblock or stay out of the sun.
I wonder if it is not only sun damage only, but maybe all the toxin that we put in our bodies. Our polluted diets would seem to be a factor because I have never spent much time in the sun and have a lot of spots on my back. I recently started a whole food plant based diet and many things change over time. Weight loss, constipation went away, inflammation in hands and joints went away. Keep in mind many people are on pharmaceutical drugs and these more serious ones look like the body is expelling toxins out of skins (largest organ). It would be interesting to see what the biopsy is composed of. Very good presentation Dr Fox
This program has scared me to the dermatologist. But, I went about 8years ago and wasn’t seen by the Dr but a student. Sun damage not addressed or looked at lovely. F
WOW really enjoyed listening to this presentation, totally understood every word and can apply it to my clients if the situation ever arises, and send them to their GP
At minute 59- surprise for many people that disappearance of pigment to the skin is a “color” change in a mole (or other skin difference other than a mole, visible on the skin). Many melanomas displayed in this lecture appeared very innocuous including when comp pared to the less dangerous skin cancers. Melanoma is very mysterious, as it often is attacked by the immune system and then on autopsy one finds brain tumors that are melanoma but there is no visible lesion or odd mole any longer (if ever?) to be found on the skin. Similar to the oddity of finding melanoma on skin still but only on bottom of feet or between toes (maybe immmune system attacked successfully partly - PARTLY- elsewhere on the skin earlier in life but it had spread so is found in such surprising places whether skin or only inside eg the end-stafe commonplace sad growth of brain tumors made of melanoma cells). Good lecture: I’d only have added more on people with skin “of color”- all the slides shown were or white (Caucasian) people but anyone of any race can get melanoma.
Great presentation by a knowledgable and interesting presenter! Thank you so much. I learned a lot, despite having researched skin cancer quite a bit in the past. I've never heard any one talk about suncreen types, ingredients, and how to use them. Fascinating. I've had MOHS for a BCC and am now 70 years old. I had wonderful skin for most of my life but spent my summers burning to a crisp on the Jersey Shore. Dr. Fox, that was really well done, thank you.
Love how all the pictures are examples of what these conditions look like on white skin... really helps actual doctors to diagnose how conditions present on a variety of skin tones... ಠ_ಠ

Dont be repulsed by how long this video is....the time flyz by cuz it's such a well done informative video with pictures. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆To this Doctor!
She is an amazing lecturer! She communicates well.
That said she was more informative on this subject than anyone I've every heard speak on skin lessions and cancer! Thank you for the information!!! I hope and pray she is teaching as many people as she can! I hope this information reaches all who need it.
I agree
Very informative in a way that totally kept my interest. 👍
She's good.
While she may have been informative, did you notice her personal interests shining through? She took great enjoyment in making people look at a melanoma case that was very advanced and causing a lot of destruction but shrugged with disappointment at cases that were simple and easy... If you were stuck with her as a lecturer or doctor you would end up being scared. She enjoys watching people suffer and making other people watch! I would never have gone to the UCF, but this video confirmed to me that no one should. It's like watching lady gaga pretend to be a specialist healthcare provider while she finds a way to destroy them - it's like a cheap pop song that no one likes after 3 listens but somehow people think is valid... I am scared for the people who go there.
@@krispaper4026 What the fuck are you talking about? You are out of your mind and projecting your own insecurities onto other people.
I’ve been working in Derm for about 1.5 years now, well regarding med Derm. This lecturer taught me more than I did working with 2 derms for that long.
THIS was an excellent presentation, Bless this doctor. I have as a lay person before referring people to board certified dermatologists for very different concerns.

In 1980 I was diagnosed with Clark's Level IV metastatic Melanoma. Three doctors at that time advised me to make my final arrangements. I am a one off. I've survived. But my father died from that disease.
So similar. Clark Level lll in 1980 and here I am.
❤❤so happy for you Sharon!!
@@asheisadora wonderful!!❤❤
Love hearing about you and other survivors of cancer.
Thank you Dr. Your video is a life saver.
Excellent presentation,I’m fair skinned and spent 35 years sailing open seas, have probably bought my dermatologist a pony for her daughter, lol. Please stay on top of any and all skin irregularities it is so important especially for our generation that used baby oil to tan last century.🌞
I remember
We are Baby Boomers, yes, make an annual appt with dermatologist, it could save your life. I sailed for 12 years, then cruiser for another 20. I have had 7 Melanomas removed! And i had no idea they were there. I make my grown sons go to as they had several bad sunburns
Same here.
So true. When I was a teenager we used coconut oil for a quick tan. Unfortunately I am fair skinned so sunburn and blisters usually followed 😔😔😔
Don’t forget the iodine we put in the Baby oil!!!
I HATE PRESENTATIONS... BUT I could not stop listening yo yours..
You explain things in a way that even I can understand. You were made to educate others and not bore them.. Really enjoyed your talk.. Thank you for being you..
I've seen decades of superficial nonsense and now this doctor spells it out in the detail that makes sense!
Great presentation. So glad you put in the time to make it. Thank you.
Best introduction to skin cancer on TH-cam!
Watching this for a third time since it was posted!
She looks so young and she's a doctor. Good for her
Dr. Fox is an excellent teacher. I loved learning from her in this video.
WOW! She is great! I could listen to her all day.
Speaker was knowledgeable, informative, and still able to use laymen terms. Thank you very much for caring enough to share this lecture.
Dr Lindsay Fox is the best lecturer I have ever seen/heard give full detailed information of various forms of skin cancers/legions etc etc. I really enjoyed listening and learning from her. If only all teachers were like this, more people would be clear on what to look for, when to get help for their skin conditions. Also what may or may not help when seeking the best type of treatment. Thank you so much for this video.
Brilliant, thank you for presenting this in a way I can understand. You’re a born teacher.
Extremely thorough and presented well enough that everyone can understand. This isn't an easy thing to do so Congratulations to Dr Lindy Fox!
I have it now. I just turned 40 today and found out at 36 I had small cell lung cancer, chemo and radiation…a year after that I got a one inch brain tumor so near to my spine that I had to have more radiation. I had clean scans and then this birthmark I had for years started to grow and it was flat. It got darker. I was at the cancer center every three weeks no one noticed it. From a flat small birthmark it grew a bit and I truly thought it was all the weight I had lost, maybe it just stretched out. Now it is black, in the shape of a heart and I guess I have one on my back but I’ve never scene it. Months went on, I now have after it itching a bit it turned into a black heart. My nurse has told me it can go anywhere outside or inside my body. I am very fearful. I have been fighting cancer for years now. They told me I only had 2-3 years and that was just from the small cell lung cancer which isn’t in your lungs, however it’s under you lungs and makes super sized lymph nodes as the oncologist called them and what they do is push on your bronchial tubes. I have not expired and fought with chemo and radiation and like I said then the 1 inch tumor on the back of my skull and too close to my spine to do surgery and thankfully radiation did it’s job and it’s still shrinking after more than a year. I have fought both of this with clean scans under my lungs and my brain tumor is still shrinking. It turned from brown to black on the out side of my ear but near it, on my face. I finally get to go to a dermatologist by the end of the month (July). Since I got cancer 3.5 years ago on Valentine’s Day I found out I had the small cell lung cancer with nothing in my lungs. They told me I was very young to get that cancer and I thank God daily that even the 2-3 years I had I survived 3 years and 6 months. I am so tired. This skin cancer I pray doesn’t go inside. My sister passed away 2.5 weeks from cancer before I found out I had cancer. The cancer I have is the worst one I’ve been told. The fact that I was so naïve and thought that it could just be cut off and even though I went in every three weeks to the cancer center nobody really much paid attention to it so I didn’t really know what was going on and again I had had radiation twice 31 time and 10 on my head for the tumor in my brain and I had gotten through both of those things knowing that I was just on a temporary what they call terminal remission basically that even though my scans were clean it didn’t mean it still wasn’t what I had come to the cancer center with the day after I had surgery where they went down and checked all that out and did biopsies and said it was small cell lung cancer and then with the brain cancer I did it 10 with that and the mask being on my face was probably the worst part and I was so thankful that it was shrinking but I guess it’s not enough to get me to heaven because I’m quite sure as my brother is an RN that this battle I may not win. I am very worried and I do pray. I am a Christian and I feel like that Cancer has plagued so many people now it’s even worse than Covid. I don’t understand what I did to deserve this but if I could do it all over again I sure it’s heck would not leave behind three kids that still need me and a husband of 21 years that we got married when I was 19 years old and he was 21 almost 22 and I don’t wanna leave them all and that will leave my mother with only one child left which is my brother. I smoked most of this short life and for some reason are used to say when I was quite shorter that I didn’t think I’d live past 50 and how crazy is it that this all is happened and now I’m just waiting to see what they’re going to do but I’m scared to death because tonight when I talk to my brother I let him know because I’ve been hiding it from my family especially my mother because I did not want her to know and she also was the first one who took me to a tanning salon because she always went and now she doesn’t go to tanning salon she just plays out in the yard and I did that too but I have always had an olive color to my skin as I do have a different father than my sister and brother who both are/were and I am also the youngest obviously. There is no cancer on my mothers side but I tried to find my birth father medical history and he just blocked me. His whole family who only lived 20 minutes away. I am watching all of this and I haven’t seen the worst one yet is what I have. But I do feel like it’s mostly my fault I should have definitely been more aware and it didn’t occur to me like I said that I would have parts of my body cut off possibly or just that area is what I thought but my brother tells me that it routes and they may have to takeoff my ear and I’m not going to do that I will I have it done anywhere else on my back if it needs to be but I am not going to have my ear taken off it’s close to my ear but it’s not in my ear so I guess when I get to go to the dermatologist when they could get me in then I’ll find out what kind of battle for the third time in 3 1/2 years I’m going to have to fight this time when my body is already tired and I just don’t understand what I did to deserve this tired of talking about cancer I just wanna be happy and live. God bless all of you that are watching this for the same reason I am and I pray that you were able to catch it early and not have to go through any more cancer. I’ve seen so many leave their families too soon. I don’t want to be like that I am only 40 years old they told me that the first Cancer was very rare for my age and I haven’t been in the sun for at least 45 years if not more than that. But this just popped up one day and now I guess I got a pay for it. I keep praying but it is so hard to believe I’ll get through this especially how damaging it is to your organs and the fact it who knows where it will go next. I will pray for anyone that has it but many people that would be watching this video probably don’t believe in Jesus or God but I sure do and I hope that when my life is over everything I’ve learned it’s true and I’ll be able to see my sister and my grandma and so many in my family that have passed and since I rescued bully breeds for over a decade I hope every one of the dogs that I helped in someway are there as well. I spent my whole life being a mother while my husband was overseas and he now is a veteran and I truly think because of how he is and many of you may say no that won’t help but he takes a shower about once every week or two and he doesn’t brush his teeth hardly ever but guess who doesn’t have cancer, doesn’t have a cavity, is very healthy and I’m just this little 4‘11“ 95 pounds trying to fight for my life and I took baths and I did what what I was supposed to and I went to the dentist like I was supposed to until I turned 18 and then I didn’t go unless I had to and chemo made quite a few my teeth bad so they had to be taken out but I even got through that and now I sit here on TH-cam trying to figure out what the dermatologist is going to tell me and I have not yet seen one that looks as bad as mine. Again if you pray please pray for me and my family and I promise I will pray for you as well.
in jesus name i hope you survive , stay strong and pray x

People don’t get cancer because they deserve it. People aren’t healthy because they deserve it. Your dna has been passed down that make you susceptible to health issues. Being out in the sun and smoking did not help but most people do not get the kind of cancers you are getting unless their dna was ripe for these health issues. It seems you have fought very hard to survive and I wish you well. But don’t waste your time wondering why you are having these health issues and other people don’t. It has nothing to do with your behavior, you and your other family members were born with the tendency to develop these awful cancers. Teach your children to use sunscreen, see the dermatologist for regular body checks, stay out of the sun as much as possible, avoid smoking, and eat healthy. Show them this video and tell them to get help as soon as they have a concern. Good luck in your efforts.
So sad to hear you are so ill with cancer and so young . I’m going to tell you if you will listen , to go to an apostolic Pentecostal church and live for God and let the pastor pray for you , God can heal you completely. Good luck . Prayers for you .
This is very helpful - so clearly explained and the photos support what she's saying. I've had various surgeries and treatments for skin cancer over quite a few years. Never been explained as well as watching this presentation.
I have the utmost respect for professionals like Dr. Fox who care for patients with skin lesions and cancers. As an older, adult male with fair skin and blue eyes, I've had experience with a number a therapies and treatments beginning in my early 20's never expecting to live to be in my 70's, and in otherwise excellent health. I've learned to pay close attention to changes in my skin, and to act on it when there's a question.
Taking the utmost precaution when in the sun has paid off.
And, continuing to do so may prevent me from looking like a prune or healed up hamburger when I'm in my 80's.
I hear ya, and resemble that remark!
We were 19 in 1975. My college roommate was a lifeguard, and he had terrible acne which was not mentioned in this video. I think there had to be some basal cell carcinoma. He took medication and used suntan lotions. I forget the name of the medication...Weird that doctors don't like to talk about eating a healthy diet and avoiding toxins. I don't agree with avoiding the sun. There are tribes of people in other countries that are always in the sun, and they have no cancer. What about the Amish that live a relatively clean life, and tend to keep healthy, but they don't wear sunscreen, and they are outdoors a lot ?
Dr Fox gave an excellent presentation .I am in the North of England , not known for having a lot of sun and this leads many people say “Oh, it isn’t sunny here, I don’t need sunblock or sun screen.” I really hope that someone listening who can pass on photographs and information as well as Dr Fox would be wonderful, especially for older people with older , thinner skin.
I have only rarely heard such a clear and precise speaker. When you can count the errors on your fingers, that's usually a very good sign. Excellent presentation by an excellent presenter.
Sorry but this not a presentation analysis. Wtf? Lol
Which errors? I didn’t see her make any errors.
An absolutely first-rate lecture--concise but comprehensive!
That's exactly how I'd describe it. Concise and comprehensive.
Agree
What an excellent video delivered by one of the best lecturers I've ever seen, Dr. Lindsay Fox. Thank you very much.
One of the best lectures of all time on this subject...well worth the watch! 🤔
Amazing lecture. I’ve had almost all kinds of skin cancer, and an appointment with my dermatologist tomorrow. The new procedures would have saved my nose from the horrible excisions’ scars 25 years ago. 😞
This was one of the most informative seminars that I’ve watched
I'll definitely watch it again.
I am 71 years old and been having light red spots on my breast area and stomach area , what do you think these tiny spots are?
A very Informative lecture
Does the use of hair dye predispose to skin cancer?
....
What an amazing, and informative video! This lady really knows what she is talking about. The slides were helpful, and also amazing to see. I think some of us have the misconception that skin cancer cant be serious, but in all reality it can kill us. Thank you for sharing.
Working in the cancer world, I have known several people whose skin cancers killed them. I had a large melanoma removed from my back...I had ignored it for years, thinking, "Ehhhhhh, it's nothing..." The dermatologist told me that this was considerably dangerous,
I know 2 ppl who died from melanoma when I lived in the tropics .. early detection is the Key .. ! be accountable for your health folks ..
Informative , one of the best explanations I've ever heard. I'd be willing to bet that this presentation's saved lives. There's more information in this video than we'd ever get from a visit to our busy doctors. I know someone that had some removals & she's still terrified but once she sees this I know it'll be extremely helpful as her doc just removed it but didn't explain things like it's depth or follow up. Well done, will be sharing this with everyone.
This was a very comprehensive, clearly photographed, well described, understandable, and detailed review of skin cancers. Dr. Fox's use of repetition was helpful to improve retention without being irritating. Though it was long, I will reccomend this video to friends with relatives with either many lesions, previously diagnosed lesions, or family histories. Thanks for reccomending annual rechecks for those with previous lesions.
I totally agree with you.
Extremely interesting and informative
Wow! Shes an amazing lecturer. Amazing video, saw how long it was but it flew by.
Very educational. ❤
Tolle Präsentation. Schön, dass Sie sich die Zeit dafür genommen haben. Vielen Dank.
The genetic component is important. I had melanoma on the same section of my neck as my great grandfather. He died from it at 42 but mine was treated. I also had to have reconstructive surgery at Johns Hopkins because a cancer had been treated with the freezing treatment and it did not get it all. It took years for anyone to believe me and by then the squamous cell carcinoma became invasive and required reconstructive surgery and 42 radiation treatments.
I'm so sorry, what an ordeal. So frustrating to come against bias and inattentive diagnoses.
So sorry you suffered this
Wow.
What a fantastic lecture. No idea why it popped up in my recommends but I am very glad I watched it because I learned a lot.
My mom always told me to regularly check my moles. But because I didn’t know what to look out for, i looked up some information and found this video. Now i know what i need to get checked out! Hopefully it will be nothing but even so thank you for this video!
This is a must for so many people to watch , having had Lintigo Maligna in situ I understand the importance of self examination and lucky I was detected on a routine examination ,
Also had Efudix chemotherapy on my face horrendous initially but killed all pre cancerous cells , stay safe stay out of direct sunlight espically when swimming outdoors
My dermatologist does a full skin check of me every 6 months. I had a melanoma years ago. I found it myself initially. It was a grade 1 thankfully.
My son passed from skin cancer, please check your bodies, the cancer travels quickly.
In the advanced stages the treatment will do you in... Sorry for your loss.
Very Sorry For Your Loss
I think one of the best things I heard about basil cell was if you get one you're going to keep getting them calm down. I find out to be so true so I have been very active with the dermatologist for a couple of decades now My sister however was just diagnosed with melanoma on her lower back which had gone into the lymph nodes. If you're fair skinned especially if you have blue eyes make your dermatologist your new best friend this was the greatest presentation I learned so much Thank you Dr Fox You're awesome
Excellent, and not too difficult for most people to understand.
Extremely interesting. I am a fair skinned English/Irish/North France background who lives in Canada and did not spend a lot of time in the sun as a youngster. To date I have has 27 squamous cell,, 32 basal cell and 60+ AK’s. I have had 5 Mohs surgeries, one three sites, two two sites for both bssal and squamous. Most of my squamous were invasive but have had several Bowen’s. This presentation was the most enlightening I have ever experienced; my dermatologists have never been this informative.
My story is a bit like yours - but only 1 AK that was removed from my face 5 years ago. It started to become active in late 2021, I tried different oils and ointments on the spot - they didn't work. However, I remembered this lecture where she mentioned Vitamin B3 might be helpful.
I started taking B3 and Melatonin 2xs day and applied 2-3xs daily an organic E-Cream by Skin Essence with Calendula, Chickweed, Gotu Kola, Nettle, Olive Oil, Zinc, Oat Extract, White Kaolin Clay, etc. - originally I had ordered it for my son's Psoriasis, but thought it might help me too. To my delight the AK has healed up - and I'm only using the cream daily with Melatonin and a B-complex.
@@inGods2handsis the melatonin supposed to be taken along with the nicotinamide or is it a separate preventative for skin cancer?
Best program for educating consumer
One of the best UCTV lectures I've seen! Bravo. So practical, for everybody. Double thumbs up!!
Excellent lecture. Bravo
This lady is a great Dr..just the way she checks the body out..I have melanoma myself..This was very interesting..Learned some new things..God Bless u & TU..
Fabulous! You answered so many questions and made it understandable. Thank you. Be blest☦️👩🏻🦳🇺🇸
As a nurse practitioner starting new career in derm I found this presentation very informative, and filled with lots of diagnostic tips. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you!
Very helpful, great seminar. The doctor explained everything clearly. Thank you.
Hi
@@philgambill4473 Hi
What a relief! I was worried but no more, thank you Dr. Fox.
Thank you for posting this and making it public so that we can learn! I appreciate it! :)
I popped in for a quick peek and stayed till the end. I would like to see more presentations from Dr. Fox.
I love this presentation! It suggest to me a “good news/bad news” factor when studying and practicing dermatology. The good news Is that the cancers and lesions are visible, at least prior to metastasis, but the treatment is challenging because there are so many different types of lesions that might be difficult to identify. I guess, when in doubt, get a biopsy!
Thank you sooo much. You’re a grand teacher!
recently had half my nose amputated because of a basal cell that came up so fast I almost missed it. Was supposed to be just a small surgery. Hours and countless lidocaine shots later I was left with a patched up nose using my cheek tissue. Most pain I've ever had in my life and it's lasted 7 months and still now finally calming down. Take a closer look please and get checked out asap if you see anything unusual.
Very interesting. So far I have had several squamous cell carcinoma, which I noticed and showed to dermatologist at annual skin checks. Two have looked like warty looking things, gray or grayish green colored. First biopsy was negative . Lesion returned as a squamous cell carcinoma . I am fair and native of FL. My husband had an assortment . Family members noticed a changing dark spot on the back of his upper arm, which was melanoma. Looked like a grease smear.
All people with a history of skin cancer really need to watch this video . I think patients with a history of skin cancers should use a dermatologist who uses the Mohs procedure. I use a different dermatologist for other skin conditions.
Thank you for the thorough lecture on / about skin cancers. My diagnosis of CLL / SLL means I am more susceptible to skin cancers. I am very appreciative of such a detailed and visual presentation, as I was concerned about the first samples / examples on my skin. Now I am relieved, and will pay more attention to my skin. Last summer, I avoided sun exposure, but now that you have made me more aware I plan to enjoy the sun again this year. (Gardener here)
+Is skin cancer also in our genes? My mom was diagnosed by her doctor with psoriasis all over her head.She was told to stop getting her hair permed,as the Dermatologist informed her scalp was too dry. She wad 80 and do you thonk she listened? No! I need oil treatments and will get one soon. When there is money involved into hair dressers and one doesn t have it.
Excellent and presented beautifully
Thanks for such an informative presentation.
This should be compulsory viewing in New Zealand & Austrailia where you can get fried in 5 minutes sun exposure or reflection from water.
Thankyou Dr. L. Fox. Appreciate your professionalism and thoroughness on this topic.
Excellent overview! It is hard to access specialist care in my area. This could set some people’s minds at ease.
EXCELLENT Presentation and well worth the time spent watching!
What an incredible dermatology presentation,Dr. Lindsay Fox! In -depth,but easy to understand,stellar slide presentation,her delivery is on point.Her patients are so blessed to have her. God bless you Dr. Fox.
Really mesmerizing and informative, thank you for sharing.
See how often the mention of insurance and costs related to the removal of a benign skin lesion come up? Only in America is that even an issue worthy of mention in any medical seminar.
ONLY IN MURIKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO happy and feel SO privileged (even though developed countries' citizens really should NOT!) to be covered by Universal Healthcare and NOT to depend on..... "the American god"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's true and sad actually, even dental insurance is really expensive. And even if you have it, you have to search for good prices when having dental procedures because deductibles are just as expensive as insurance premiums.
That's what keeps me from going to the dermatologist.
The USA is a quite barbaric place to be, where one can lose everything due to illness. What a "kind and gentle" nation (George HW Bush referred to the USA this way). I have survived two cancers and it nearly ruined us. We would certainly be much better off had we not had to spend thousands over thousands of dollars for my mere survival.
We have much better access to health? Try living in Canada and or the UK and how long you wait for a dr appt. my friend died at age 24 bc they had already done all the work on her removing her tumor they could afford to do.
Thank you for great seminar. Lot of informations.
Thank You !! As I have skin cancer this helped me understand better . Wonderful information.
I think its important to include the types of Melanoma. My husband died of Nodular Melanoma from a mole that changed. The doctor initially wasn’t going to do a biopsy as he said it was anything. At the last minute he changed his mind. His melanoma looked almost completely circular.
I had a perfectly round black mole on my arm. No different than many moles I have had forever. I don't know when this one on my arm made me take notice. It was 2.5 mm. I went to derm when it started to change in color. Next day doc cut it out. Biopsy revealed it to be nodular melanoma pT3a. I am going in soon for a second wide excision and will have regular follow-up hereafter. That little round evenly colored, smooth mole was there for a year, maybe more. It looked so innocent but it is the deadliest of skin cancers. I hardly considered it, as I always looked for uneven border, color, surface and bleeding. I just found out a few weeks ago and am still in shock.. Who knows how far it has progressed or if it is elsewhere in my body? I am scrambling to get my affairs in order w/ updating my Will etc . I don't know if I am paranoid but I feel like this is serious. My overall health has been ill for at least two years. But who knows? There could be lots of reasons for feeling unwell. I think it is a duty our primary care doctors advise us to see a dermatologist to be checked and to even give a mini lecture on the skin, as the lecturer did in this great video. Please be vigilant, my friends. Check yourself, your kids, family, anyone you care about and warn them if you notice something you feel they should have checked out. Good luck.
I'm now concerned as i have a changed mole ,was once flat and is now raised and round.Iv asked for a referral because initially the doc just measured it .So now waiting to see dermatologist .I wish you well and please God I'm going to be ok also .🙏
Excellent presentation. Very informative and great visual examples.
Thank you I'm sure you have just saved more lives with sharing this knowledge, thank you 💕
People tend to ignore what they should pay strict attention to. I had family members lead the way, one uncle in particular who lived into his 90's. He looked terrific, but not without the help of professionals like Dr. Fox.
Very much so my parents r getting up there in age and I worry about this for them and myself as I have very fair skin and have had several severe sunburns that have blistered so I do worry about that stuff This video will definitely help to save lives!!!!!
Excellent Seminar & A Very Knowledgeable Skin Doctor Teaching It !!! Most Informative!!! Do More Of These.!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for timely and clear information that I am saving and forwarding to my children and grandchildren
Riveting presentation. My husband looks like an advanced dermatology final exam! It was lovely to learn about what to overlook.
One thing I wish would change in the pharm-physician-patient triangle is the total lack of application information in Rx cremes.
You leave the office with a fistful of prescriptions and a dazed look on your face. Then you get home and wonder: “ Was the 5-fluorouracil for my genital itching and the clobetasol for my face, or vice versa?”
I do wish that the packaging was better!
wonderful presentation and informative. Very much needed to know at this time. I wish it was an offered coverage to get a full screening during a physical exam especially for those who have no one to help see the areas a single individual cannot examine by oneself. It would be a needed lifesaving exam such as mamagrams,.
Dr. Fox is wonderful! I know she is helping alot of people to be well-informed on this sometimes confusing subject. I was fortunate to find a great doctor who found skin cancer on my forehead that I had barely noticed because of it's light coloring. Please have your body screened if you are concerned about sun exposure etc. Big thank you to Dr. Fox!! 🏆🏆👏👏👏🏆🏆👏👏👏♥️
Thank you for your informative presentation! You have answered many of my questions and eased my mind a little. I have some of these skin issues.
Thank you for sharing the lecture. Mr. Fox explains very simple for the basic person to understand…she doesn’t talk over your heard to understand what she is explaining… I would like to know more about liver spots from her…and a flat white spot that itches but isn’t raised. Thank you again University of California TV. Always enjoy your informative classes…
Very good seminar
Great information and she broke down for the lay person to understand
Dr Fox is an excellent speaker,soo informative and articulate, very enjoyable!!
She has my respect.
Very informative presentation by Dr. Fox! The portion on sunscreen alone is a must see for everyone. Thank you!
Great lecture. I've had about 20 skin cancer surgeries in the past 20 years, including one small melanoma .75mm thick. This is the first time I've ever heard of Nicotinamide. That's something I want to check out.
By the way, if you're a young person.....don't be like me. Use sunblock or stay out of the sun.
I wonder if it is not only sun damage only, but maybe all the toxin that we put in our bodies. Our polluted diets would seem to be a factor because I have never spent much time in the sun and have a lot of spots on my back. I recently started a whole food plant based diet and many things change over time. Weight loss, constipation went away, inflammation in hands and joints went away. Keep in mind many people are on pharmaceutical drugs and these more serious ones look like the body is expelling toxins out of skins (largest organ).
It would be interesting to see what the biopsy is composed of.
Very good presentation Dr Fox
A dermatologist presented evidence at the 2020 Plantrician Project to support this lifestyle change

Many of my skin tags disappeared after I upped my vitamin c and stopped eating most processed food and high sugar foods.
Or put on our skin like bug spray or swimming in pools with chlorine.

Wonderful Explanation giving your audience clarity and visual attention was a plus.
Thank you!! What a lifesaver
Excellent information. I was able to diagnose myself before I call my Doctor!
Thank you Lindsay!
Wow! First time listener. Very informative. My dad had skin cancer and my sister now has skin cancer. Thank you so much for sharing these videos ☺
So interesting. Appreciate very much the info on sun screen.
This could and should get a lot of views!!
This program has scared me to the dermatologist. But, I went about 8years ago and wasn’t seen by the Dr but a student. Sun damage not addressed or looked at lovely.

WOW really enjoyed listening to this presentation, totally understood every word and can apply it to my clients if the situation ever arises, and send them to their GP
Wonderfully lucid explanation. I made notes.
At minute 59- surprise for many people that disappearance of pigment to the skin is a “color” change in a mole (or other skin difference other than a mole, visible on the skin). Many melanomas displayed in this lecture appeared very innocuous including when comp pared to the less dangerous skin cancers. Melanoma is very mysterious, as it often is attacked by the immune system and then on autopsy one finds brain tumors that are melanoma but there is no visible lesion or odd mole any longer (if ever?) to be found on the skin. Similar to the oddity of finding melanoma on skin still but only on bottom of feet or between toes (maybe immmune system attacked successfully partly - PARTLY- elsewhere on the skin earlier in life but it had spread so is found in such surprising places whether skin or only inside eg the end-stafe commonplace sad growth of brain tumors made of melanoma cells). Good lecture: I’d only have added more on people with skin “of color”- all the slides shown were or white (Caucasian) people but anyone of any race can get melanoma.
Louise Smith, Some patients were brown skin.
Excellent presentation. Learned a lot. Thank you for showing this video!
Very welcome!
Great presentation by a knowledgable and interesting presenter! Thank you so much. I learned a lot, despite having researched skin cancer quite a bit in the past. I've never heard any one talk about suncreen types, ingredients, and how to use them. Fascinating. I've had MOHS for a BCC and am now 70 years old. I had wonderful skin for most of my life but spent my summers burning to a crisp on the Jersey Shore. Dr. Fox, that was really well done, thank you.
Same here, my grandparents had a cottage in Stone Harbor. Daily sunburns most of childhood, Lots of fresh air and salt water : )
great video to put up, thanks
This is an excellent presentation. I have a magazine picture of Melanoma to be concerned about. I was totally caught off guard by squamous carcinoma..
A lot of good information.
Love how all the pictures are examples of what these conditions look like on white skin... really helps actual doctors to diagnose how conditions present on a variety of skin tones... ಠ_ಠ
That’s true but I also believe the majority of skin cancer appears in white skin. Increased melanin protects skin from sun damage.
very informative, great slides and photos
Excellent presentation. Thank you
Thank you -- awesome presentation. Lots of positive, reassuring vibes. Lots of information that is hard to find.
