5. Changes in Skin & Appearance

Changes in the skin could be symptoms of cancer as well. If you’ve got any warts, freckles, or moles that suddenly change shape, size or color, you might want to get it examined. White spots in the mouth may point to oral cancers, and lumps underneath the skin (especially in a woman’s breasts) could be the cause of cancer as well.

Any unusual coloration such as redness, dark spots, or jaundice (yellow skin and eyes), should be examined. Surprisingly, even increased hair growth could be a sign of cancer!
