How to identify cancer spots

2025-03-08 07:36:50
Male 26 I usually apply sunscreen on face but palms get regularly washed so sunscreen gets washed off. Noticed this spot on the side of my palm. It's very dry (just this spot ) and discolored with brown / red spots. Can you please check and tell if I should be concerned.

Unlikely to be cancerous from what I can see But a confirmation requires detailed assessment and testing as a photo can be misleading Reapply after washing your hands if needed Keep observing for increase in size and drastic change in appearance of the lesion Consult directly if you wish to get it checked
