Skin Cancer Diagnose
Since this type of cancer affects the skin, it is natural to assume that the first signs of this disease will manifest themselves on your skin. Usually, it is believed that skin cancer affects those areas of the body which are exposed to the sun. However, this is not always true. So if you notice some lesions or spots between your toes or on the palms of your hand or even on your back, don't dismiss it as an allergic reaction. Skin cancer can be noticed in the forms of lesions on various parts of the body. You may notice brown lesions on your face, chest or back. Sometimes these lesions have a scaly surface. Sometimes the presence of skin cancer is heralded by the appearance of small red colored nodules. These can appear on your back, your chest and elsewhere. Some people notice dome shaped bumps on their body. The skin on these bumps is usually shiny. If you have moles on your body and notice these growing bigger, then this is cause for concern. In some cases the moles not only grow bigger but also begin to bleed. Sometimes a patient of skin cancer may get his first warning from the appearance of brown spots with speckles around it. Any growth or rash that does not heal in a week or ten days, should be immediately examined.
