Symptoms:
Most moles are harmless. But those that are flat, or nearly flat, are larger than the top of a pencil eraser or have a mottled color should be checked. If an existing mole turns blue, white, or red and begins to bleed or develops a crust—have it checked. It may be skin cancer.

Treatment:
• To remove a suspected skin cancer (before it has continued long enough to go into the system), fasten a thin slice of garlic to it in the evening and leave on overnight. Do this for 2-4 nights. The spot will slough off; and, as it heals new, fresh flesh will take its place.
