5 Warning Signs That Cancer May Be Developing in Your Body

4. Changes in Skin or Moles

Your skin can often reveal signs of cancer, especially melanoma (skin cancer). But other changes, like yellowing, darkening, or redness of the skin, could be linked to internal cancers.

What to watch for:

• New moles or changes in existing ones (shape, color, size)

• Skin that itches, bleeds, or doesn’t heal

• Jaundice (yellowing of eyes or skin)

5. Persistent Cough or Hoarseness

A cough that won’t go away—especially if it’s dry, painful, or produces blood—could be an early symptom of lung, throat, or thyroid cancer. If hoarseness lasts more than three weeks, it deserves medical attention.

What to watch for:

• Chroic cough with no infection

  EarNose & Throat

• Hoarseness or difficulty speaking

• Shortness of breath or chest pain
