What is a sign of skin cancer

An unusual skin growth or sore that doesn't go away may be the first to indication of a non-melanoma skin cancer. Skin cancer may initially appear as a nodule, rash or irregular patch on the surface of the skin. These spots may be raised and may ooze or bleed easily. A small lesion with an irregular border and portions that appear red, pink, white, blue or blue-black. A painful lesion that itches or burns.

Darker patches in the skin. Not mater the size, the small patch could be hiding cancer with the possibility of tumors under the patch of skin.
