Top 10 Red Flags That Cancer Is Growing In Your Body

9. Skin Changes and New Moles

PIN IT FOR LATER

Skin is our largest organ, and its changes are visible. While most skin cancers are not internal, their signs are external, making self-examination easy.

• The ABCDEs of Moles: Monitor existing or new moles using the ABCDE rule:
  • Asymmetry
  • Border (irregular or jagged)
  • Color (multiple colors or very dark)
  • Diameter (larger than a pencil eraser)
  • Evolving (changing in size, shape, or color)
• Other Skin Signs: Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) is a major sign of liver or pancreatic cancer. Any sores that do not heal after several weeks, or red, scaly patches, should also be evaluated.
