Symptom #3: Slow-Healing
Cuts and scratches are a part of life. Although they can be painful they are not usually a real danger to us as the body will begin its process of healing straight away. A scab will often form over the wound to help protect the exposed tissues below while the body gets to work patching up the damage beneath.
If your wound is taking a long time to heal, though, then there might be something quite wrong. It could be a symptom of a number of causes, one of which is skin cancer. A wound that takes too long to heal or doesn’t heal at all is not at all normal and is something that should prompt you to see a medical professional.
