Symptoms People Dismiss (But Doctors Pay Attention To)
Many people assume skin cancer “shouldn’t hurt.”
So when a spot starts itching or feels tender, they blame dry skin, allergies, shaving, or friction from clothing.
But certain symptoms are worth taking seriously—especially if they persist.
Red flags can include:
- Itching that doesn’t go away
- Bleeding without a clear reason (not just from scratching)
- Crusting, oozing, or a sore that won’t heal
- Pain or tenderness in a specific spot
- Rapid growth over weeks or months
- Color spreading beyond the original border
This doesn’t mean “panic.” It means “don’t ignore it.”
The goal is to catch the few serious cases early—not to live in fear of every freckle.
