Have new ones checkd: Although changes in our skin are normal as we age, if u notice new changes that r concerning have them looked at by your regular doctor. Most benign skin changes are easy to identify by looking at them. Skin cancer identification is defined by the a, b, c's. A- area or size changes. B- borders that are irregular, c-color (multiple colors are concerning) there are some more features but these r basics.

Unlikely: Cancer of the skin causes slow growing tumors. So you can watch it and look for any change in size or color over the next 6-12 months. If it doe snot change it is unlikely to be skin cancer. If it grows in size get a biopsy done and find out. You do not need to worry as skin cancers are highly curable!
