5. Top of Ears and Head
There are a couple of spots that are often overlooked when it comes to cancerous moles. The top of the ears is common spots for these moles to appear. This is especially true for men. Most hats that men wear do not shade the ears. Men who are balding often forget to protect the top of their heads.
Both the top of the head and the tops of the ears are common areas where both basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma to develop. These spots can be difficult to monitor on your own. You will want to watch the areas closely as the spots that develop can be quite small and difficult to see.
Make sure that you look over your ears and head closely at least once a week or so. It does not take long for these spots to develop and once they have formed, they can spread quickly if they are not taken care of.
