Cancer Symptoms Men Might Miss

Along with checking your body for lumps, it is important to keep an eye out for any changes on your skin. Certain skin abnormalities, including color changes, sores that don’t heal, excessive itchiness and unusual hair growth, can be signs of a health problem like skin cancer. While skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, various other conditions, such as multiple sclerosis (neurological) or an allergic reaction (topical), also can cause symptoms like itchiness. You can reduce your risk of developing skin cancer by taking steps to prevent skin damage, such as covering exposed skin and reporting abnormalities to your doctor.
