Does skin cancer itch?

Does skin cancer itch?

Not really. We find that people expect symptoms from a condition as serious as skin cancer. In reality, the majority of skin cancer doesn’t cause any itching at all. Unfortunately, a lot of benign moles and inflamed growths of the skin can become inflamed and itch. The area may become red and we often see patients who are worried that this means they have skin cancer.
