Experts from the UK told how you can recognize skin cancer on your own. One of the key signs is a change in the appearance of a mole or its texture.

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the world. As a rule, it is caused by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This is the most dangerous condition – melanoma.

You can recognize it by a mole that changes shape, itches and causes discomfort. It bleeds and forms a crust of pearly color or another. This symptom is often accompanied by bumps under the skin, especially in places such as the neck, groin and armpits. Swelling or a wound that does not heal should alert you. Do not ignore the red spot that has formed.

Expert Andrew Thornberry recommends using a cream with UVA protection of at least 4 to prevent skin cancer. Other ways to prevent cancer are to spend time in the shade when the sun is at its strongest. If we are talking about being on the beach, then you should protect yourself from getting too much of a sunburn, cover yourself with clothes and do not forget about sunglasses.
