Detect skin cancer early

Recognizing white and black skin cancer

White skin cancer manifests itself in roughened areas on the skin, whitish-grey nodules, bumpy skin growths and recurring bleeding. Black skin cancer, on the other hand, is easier to detect as it usually develops from moles or resembles moles.
