What color is skin cancer?

Question

I noticed a new mole on my arm a few days back, and it looks a bit different from my other moles. My friend told me to keep an eye on it. Just wondering if there's a specific color to watch out for with skin cancer.

Skin cancer can appear in various colors, not just one. It can be pink, red, black, brown, or even white. It's more about changes in size, shape, or texture of moles or new growths. Please, if you notice anything suspicious, see a dermatologist immediately. Don't take chances with your skin.

Skin cancer? It's probably the color of my under-eye circles after pulling an all-nighter, which is to say, 'not good.' But seriously, it can be various shades, not just one. Red, brown, black... better just get anything weird checked out by a doc. My brain can't handle guessing games right now.

Dekho, skin cancer ka koi ek rang nahi hota. Kabhi woh kala dikhta hai, kabhi laal, kabhi brown. Zaroori yeh hai ki apne sharir par nishanon ko dhyan se dekho. Agar koi naya daag bane ya purana badle toh doctor ko dikhao. Simple sa tarika hai dhyaan rakhne ka.

Skin cancer doesn't have one fixed color; it can be various shades like pink, brown, black, or even skin-colored. It's more about irregular shapes or changes in existing moles. Apart from regular check-ups, protecting your skin from the sun is key, like using sunscreen even when exercising outdoors.

Oh, I thought it was just black. So it can be many colors? Like, even light colors? This is really confusing. So how do we know what to look for then, if the color changes?
