Symptoms of skin cancer besides strange looking moles?
Skin cancer can appear like anything. It can be raised, discolored. Some symptoms that might be concerning is if you have a skin area that as changed in appearance. If an area is itchy that can also be a symptom. If you are at all concerned, consider seeing a dermatologist.
Reply:Try the american or canadian cancer associations websites or whatever country you are in.





I know that a sunburn that doesn't readily heal is also an issue or spots on your skin that continually hurt even after they have looked like they have healed from a sunburn.
Reply:You could look for something that looks like a reddish growth that's covered with scaly, dry skin. It would start out small, maybe a little bigger than your average pimple. The best thing to do is check out pictures online. There are millions of them.
Reply:Any small sore that does not heal in 30 days that appears on the skin of person over age 25-30 who is a sun lover or works outside should be examined as a potential skin cancer.
