12 Early Warning Signs Your Body May Be Developing Cancer Cells

4. Unusual Lumps or Swellings

A new lump under the skin, in the breast, neck, groin, or armpits can be one of the earliest symptoms of abnormal cell growth. Always have persistent lumps checked by a doctor.

5. Skin Changes

Your skin can reflect what’s happening inside your body. Watch out for:

  • Darkening, yellowing, or redness of the skin

  • Sores that don’t heal

  • New or changing moles

These may be linked to skin cancer or internal cancers.
