7. Unusual-shaped moles
Moles and freckles are cute — really, they are. However, you may not notice that these can shapeshift at any given time. When they do, it’s almost always a bad thing. And by ‘bad thing,’ this can possibly be a sign of melanoma.
Moles that go through a change in shape, color, size, or appearance means that there’s something going on with your body. The appearance of moles themselves can already mean potential skin cancer. When these begin to show a change in patterns, it’s probably your body telling you that it’s already spreading all over. When your skin begins to show any hints of change, always keep in mind that there might be something wrong.
If you’ve recently noticed a sudden growth in mole appearance, especially unusual-shaped ones, consult with a dermatologist immediately. This is one of the most tell-tale signs of melanoma, and most people fail to notice this.
