Could your sun spot actually be melanoma? Here's how to tell.
Remember when we were talking about sunscreen earlier? Well, that’s because your chances of developing age spots, can show up anywhere on your skin, Brown says.
Whereas skin cancer lesions can develop on any part of the body, including sun-protected areas, such as the palms, soles, genital region or inside the mouth.So it’s important to monitor the areas the sun doesn’t shine, especially if you’re worried about skin cancer.Spots caused by skin cancer can be more textured, wart-like, and even scaly, shared Brown – whereas age spots are more often flat and smooth.
“Age spots generally do not cause any symptoms or discomfort. Skin cancer, however, can be accompanied by various symptoms, including itching, tenderness, pain or bleeding,” Brown says.You’re more likely to develop skin cancer if you have a family history of the condition.
