Signs of skin cancer include:
A firm, transparent bump laced with tiny blood vessels in thin red lines (telangiectasias).
A reddish or irritated patch of skin.
A new, smooth skin bump (nodule) with a raised border and indented center.
A smooth, shiny, or pearly bump that may look like a mole or cyst.
A shiny area of tight-looking skin, especially on the face, that looks like a scar and has poorly defined edges.
An open sore that oozes, bleeds, or crusts and has not healed in 3 weeks.
A persistent red bump on sun-exposed skin.
A sore that does not heal or an area of thickened skin on the lower lip, especially if you smoke or use chewing tobacco, or your lips are exposed to the sun and wind.

dark brown or black marks. Cancer is normally black. They tend to be raised. If its getting bigger really quickly, its probably melanoma- deadly[thats what my grandfather died of], but the basil[sp?] cells aren't deadly, and they grow slower. They can be ichy, and scablike sometimes too. <3 Rose

normally you'll find a mole, or like a birth mark looking thing that you've never had befor. And they are normally disfigured a little, like not a perfect circle or whatever.
