Are new freckles a sign of cancer?

No: Freckles are freckles and are benign, early skin cancer may appear to be a frickle to an untrained eye, .And a compelling reason to see your doctor for professional opinion.

No, but...: ... There are a few skin signs, notably leser-trelat, in which crusty pigmented lesions pop up widely over the trunk, and this warns especially of deep colon cancer. Any sudden appearance of something out-of-the-ordinary is worth a physician's office visit.
