What does skin cancer look like?
Early stage skin cancer most often starts with a new mole or a change to an existing spot. Look for moles that change in size, shape, or colour. Other symptoms include:
- A freckle, patch, or mole with irregular borders
- A firm lump or nodule
- A sore that bleeds or won’t heal
- A patch of skin that bleeds or itches
Skin cancer can look different from one person to the next. The best way to spot skin cancer early is with a regular mole check. Want to find out more about skin cancer symptoms? Check out our blog on the 11 signs of skin cancer not to be ignored
