How long before you can detect skin cancer?

Recently, I got sunburned really bad on my back and shoulders. I have a couple new flat freckles. How and when can you tell you have skin cancer? And, can you develop skin cancer without seeing anything noticeable?

There is usually some change in the skin - a mole or even a red area which a friend of mine has just had diagnosed as skin cancer and is using a chemo cream instead of surgery.
Any suspicious spots should be reported to a doctor for checking.

skin doctors should be able to tell just by looking - they can also cut away some of the spot and send it into a lab for verification.

i have some large brown spots on my face - they are called liver spots or age spots - there are creams that can fade them but i don't think they can actually change the condition of your skin.
