- Unusual skin growth or sore that doesn’t go away, such as a nodule, rash or irregular patch on the surface of the skin
- A pale patch of skin or a waxy or pearly white translucent bump on the head or neck, or a brownish scar or flesh-colored lesion on the chest, which may be signs of basal cell carcinomas
- Firm, rough lumps on the surface of the skin, sometimes developing more like a reddish, scaly patch if a nodule doesn’t form, which may be signs of squamous cell cancer
- Red or flesh-colored moles that are raised and grow quickly, which may be a sign of Merkel cell carcinomas which are also a type of skin cancer
- Changes in a previous mole (remember ABCD which stands for Asymmetry, uneven Borders, changes in Color and increase in size in a mole/Diameter)
