6. Sores That Don’t Heal
Our skin and tissues naturally repair themselves after an injury. If you have a sore—on your mouth, skin, or private area—that refuses to heal, it could be a red flag.
Chronic sores might indicate cancers such as oral, skin, or cervical cancer.
When wounds don’t close or continue to reappear, it’s your body’s way of warning that something isn’t healing as it should.
7. Unusual Lumps or Swelling
Finding a lump under your skin can be frightening, but it’s also one of the most important signs to notice early.
Lumps in the breast, armpit, neck, or groin could be caused by swollen lymph nodes or tumor growth.
While not every lump means cancer, it’s best to get it checked by a healthcare professional—especially if it’s firm, painless, or growing.
8. Changes in the Skin
Your skin can reveal a lot about your internal health. A new mole or a change in the shape, color, or size of an existing one could indicate melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer.
Unexplained rashes, spots, or dark patches may also point to other internal cancers.
Make it a habit to examine your skin regularly and consult a dermatologist for any changes that look suspicious.
