Many different signs: Some of the main signs for skin cancer are a change in color, texture, shape, elevation, crusting or size of existing lesions. Any patch of skin that is different or changing away from the normal skin is suspect. If you have an irregular spot of skin, it is best to have it looked at by a professional.

ABCD's: Remember your abcd's when thinking of melanoma. Look for moles with asymmetry boarders that are irregular color differences within the same mole diameter greater than 6mm also any new mole or old that starts to itch, bleed or ulcerate should be of concern. Another rule is the ugly duckling rule. Which refers to a mole that looks distantly different from the others on your body.
