stresses that symptoms for skin cancer can ‘vary’, as well as being similar to other conditions.
The charity states: ‘Common symptoms of skin cancer include a sore or area of skin that: doesn’t heal within 4 weeks, looks unusual, hurts, is itchy, bleeds, crusts or scabs for more than 4 weeks.’
The organisation adds: ‘Non melanoma skin cancer tends to develop most often on skin exposed to the sun.
‘To spot skin cancer early it helps to know how your skin normally looks. That way, you’ll notice any changes more easily.’

Doctors use a checklist called ABCDE to check moles for signs of melanoma, which stands for: asymmetrical, border, colour, diameter, and evolving.
