4. LUMP

A lump or the thickening of the skin in a particular area of the body can be because of cancer that is either developing or in the advanced stages already. Many types of cancer can be seen or felt through the skin in the form of a lump or a rough, hard, textured patch at a particular area of the body. This is more common for cancers that affect the areas of the breast, lymph nodes, soft tissues, or testicles.

As soon as symptoms of this kind appear, make it a priority to have it checked right away. Especially when said lump or patch grows in size significantly over a short period of time. Some breast cancers, however, will produce red or thickened skin in and around the breast area rather than a lump.
