Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, is not usually painful in its early stages.
However, as the melanoma grows and spreads, it can become painful.
Pain is often a sign that the melanoma has become more advanced.
Other symptoms of melanoma can include:
-
A mole that changes in size, shape, or color
-
A mole that is itchy, tender, or bleeds
-
A new mole that is different from other moles
-
A sore that doesn't heal
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor right away. Early detection and treatment of melanoma are crucial for increasing the chances of a successful outcome.
