When your freckles could be a sign of skin cancer – signs to look out for

0

They’re tan, red, light brown or dark brown and extremely common.

While freckles aren’t usually a health threat, it’s important to know what’s normal for you.

Cancer Research UK explains that changes to your freckles could be a sign that you need to “tell your doctor” about.

Any spot on your skin that has a jagged border, more than one colour, or grows, should be checked by a professional.

Furthermore, a freckle that feels sore or bleeds could also be a warning sign.

Skin Cancer Foundation states: “Be watchful for any new mole or freckle that arises on your skin, a sore or spot that does not heal, any existing mole that starts changing (growing, swelling, itching) or any spot, mole or lesion that looks unusual.”

Once you notice anything suspicious, it’s important to seek medical help promptly.

“The earlier a melanoma is found, the easier it is to treat,” Cancer Research UK adds.

“So, it’s important to see your GP as soon as possible if you have any [suspicious] skin changes.”
