Melanoma lesions are often more than one colour or shade.

Moles of the benign are typically one colour.

D is for diameter.

Melanoma growths are normally larger than 6mm in diameter.

And E is for evolution or change over time.

The last criteria is particularly concerning.

If you notice that one of your moles is changing rapidly, consult a dermatologist urgently.

The risk is that it could develop into melanoma, a type of skin cancer, so do be vigilant.

There you have it.

Now you know if scratching a mole is really dangerous.

What is the best way to soothe a crying baby?

Thanks for asking.

Getting babies to sleep is big business and a major source of stress for parents.

There are many theories and methods.

Rock them, sing, let them cry it out.

But now science has come to the rescue and we can finally put this question to bed.

Well, hopefully.

According to a study published in September 2022 in Current Biology, approximately 20 to 30% of infants cry excessively and exhibit sleep difficulties for no apparent reason, which of course can be exhausting for most people, but can become more serious in some cases, as they point out, as it causes parental stress and even triggering impulsive child maltreatment in a small number of cases.

So finding a way to soothe babies is very important.

What did scientists discover?
