Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and if it's caught early it can be easily treated. However, skin cancers can look very different and the symptoms can vary, or be similar to other conditions.
Common symptoms of skin cancer include a sore or area of skin that doesn't heal within four weeks, looks unusual or hurts, is itchy, bleeds, crusts or scabs for more than four weeks. Speak to your GP if you have any of these symptoms or are worried about any abnormal areas of skin.
Non-melanoma skin cancers, the most common, tend to develop most often on skin that's exposed to the sun. Here we have teamed up with Cancer Research UK to offer a comprehensive guide to what to look out for.
