Early symptoms of skin cancer mainly include the following aspects:

1. Skin lumps: In the early stages of skin cancer, small lumps or nodules may appear on the skin. These lumps may be red or dark red and could have scales or ulcers on the surface.

2. Skin ulcers: Skin cancer may cause ulcers on the skin. These ulcers may be round or irregular in shape, with jagged edges. The ulcer surface may present symptoms such as bleeding or fluid discharge.

3. Changes in skin pigmentation: Skin cancer may lead to changes in skin pigmentation, such as the appearance of white spots, dark spots, or areas of hyperpigmentation.

If any of the above symptoms occur, prompt medical attention is recommended.
