What are the symptoms of skin cancer?

is it just sores and scabs and stuff like that? or is it life threatenting and other things like that? links would be good if there are some

Skin Ca is often described as ABC.
A- Asymmetric, is the lesion asymmetrical?
B- Does it have a irregular border?
C- Is it different colors?
If you answer yes to all of these you need to see a Dermatologist right away. Melanoma (skin cancer) is one of the deadiest cancers.

No sores, just a change in the colour or size of a skin blemish, mole etc., It could also be the sudden appearance of one and usually a very dark or blackish colour.
Four weeks ago I was checked by my skin specialist, a Dermatologist, and given the all clear. But just four days ago my doctor removed a suspected Melanoma from my neck after it appeared suddenly. I decided on complete removal rather than first having a biopsy as any delay could be fateful. Now awaiting biopsy report to confirm. Better safe - than sorry!
Everyone should have a skin check at least once a year.
