Red Flag #4: Skin Changes
Not all cancer starts inside the body—sometimes, it shows up right on the skin. New moles, non-healing wounds, changes in pigmentation, and unusual rashes may signal skin cancer or internal cancers like liver or pancreatic. Dermatologists across the U.S. saw a 17% increase in melanoma diagnoses from 2022 to 2024, often due to patients noticing small changes during routine checks.
Keep records of skin changes using photos and monitor with monthly self-exams. If changes persist, schedule a dermatologist visit covered under your preventive cancer screening benefits. Many life insurance for cancer survivors plans now offer dermatology add-ons—ask your agent.
