Signs and symptoms:
Usually, cancer signs and symptoms are spotted when the disease has spread to a greater extent. Skin cancer is a bit different in this regard because its signs are a bit more visible than other forms of cancer so it makes it a bit easier for you to detect its early onset. You can check the sign and symptoms on the skin every month at least to keep a check and to know if there’s any medical assistance required.
Usually, there’s a common approach used to keep the signs and symptoms in check. You can use the ABCDE approach for this purpose. Here’s a brief overview of how this approach works:
A ( Asymmetric): Usually the cancerous moles and spots visible on the skin and not symmetric and not similar in their color.
B (Borders): the borders of the moles have a bit of a blurry factor that makes it a complicated shape to detect giving off a border-like factor.
C (Color): The moles visible on the skin that leads to skin cancer are usually very odd in color. It gives off some varying colors like brownish, red, or whitish tones.
D (Diameter): Similarly the sizes vary as well. If a mole seems to be getting bigger over time or has an unusually size, it can be cancer leading sign.
E (Evolution): if your mole is changing from time to time in different aspects like shape, color, or form, there are chances that it is not a normal mole but something to be concerned about and getting medical assistance over.
Other than ABCDE spot detection coming on the skin, there are other signs and symptoms as well that you can keep a check on like:
There are different spots that are forming on your body and they don’t look normal moles spat or sores that are taking too long to recover and seem like they have been unhealed for a long time
A normal mole keeps on getting worse in such a way that there is unusual redness or swelling coming up.
Spots or moles on the skin are causing a sensation of pain, or even leading to bleeding from the spot
The spots are becoming quite permanent and taking the form of scars on the skin.
