Identifying cancerous lumps can be challenging. However, certain characteristics can help differentiate them from benign lumps:
Irregular shape: Cancerous lumps often have an irregular shape and are not smooth. Firmness: They tend to be harder and more solid compared to benign lumps. Immobility: Malignant lumps are usually fixed in place and do not move easily under the skin. Growth rate: Cancerous lumps often grow rapidly over a short period. Associated symptoms: They may be accompanied by symptoms like pain, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue.
