What kind of mole? have the potential to become "cancer"

      Freckles or moles are things that can be seen on everyone's skin. They are generally harmless, and most of the time, there are no concerns. However, in some cases, certain skin conditions may undergo abnormal changes and develop into skin cancer. The exact causes are not clearly understood, but it often occurs when the skin is exposed to various triggering factors for an extended period. Today, we have some tips to observe the characteristics of "freckles" that have the potential to become "cancer."

• Freckles that rapidly change or grow in size over a short period.
• Freckles that are dark, black, or irregular in color.
• Freckles that have uneven or rough borders.
• Freckles that become raised in the center and form a surrounding ring.
• Freckles that have small scattered freckles around them.

      If you have freckles that you are unsure about, it is advisable to consult a physician. Freckles should not be left unattended for too long because skin cancer in its early stages can be treated and cured. Delaying treatment may lead to the spread of the disease, making it more difficult to treat.
