Skin Cancer- early symptoms
Skin
cancer often attacks the surface of the skin, which later metastasize
into other parts of the body. The main cause of this type of cancer is
unprotected exposure to sunlight, and among farer-skinned individuals in
particular.
A change in the shape, size or color of moles or beauty marks
Most
moles and beauty marks are benign, but some may indicate the presence
of skin cancer. New moles and beauty marks, ones that change their
color, shape or size in a short time (weeks/months), or a change in
texture to brittle/greasy/bloody – are all symptoms of skin cancer. Even
if you don’t feel like having them checked, it’s important to keep an
eye on them, because anyone is susceptible. Early diagnosis can save
your life, even in cases of malignant melanoma.
Skin sores that don’t heal after a couple of weeks
Our
skin has the ability to repair damages it experiences, but in some
cases, such lesions and sores don’t heal for weeks. This must serve as a
warning, so if you notice such sores on your skin, contact your GP
immediately.
The appearance of spots or a change in the texture of the skin
If
you notice new spots on your body, or have ones you’ve never checked,
as well as a change in their color and texture, they must be tested as
they can be a warning sign of cancer. THIS IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION, ALWAYS CONSULT YOU PHYSICIAN BEFORE HAVING ANY PARTICULAR FOOD/ MEDICATION/EXERCISE/OTHER REMEDIES.
