Lumps of any kind
The bottom line is that you shouldn’t ignore any new or suspicious changes you can see on your body, especially lumps, according to Nesochi Okeke-Igbokwe, MD, a physician, and health expert. “Any new or changing lumps, moles, or lesions that you find on the body should be brought to the immediate attention of a doctor,” she says. It’s important to check these things because if it happens to be a cancerous change, then earlier detection and treatment are key for a better outcome, says Dr. Okeke-Igobkwe.
