8 areas where skin cancer is most likely to occur.

Skin cancer can appear in many unexpected areas of the body, such as the armpits, earlobes, eyelids, and buttocks.

1. Eyelids

According to Healthmeup, this is one of the areas of skin often overlooked when we apply sunscreen. The risk of developing eyelid skin cancer is approximately 5-10%.

2. Scalp

Although hair covers and protects, the scalp, like every other part of your body, is at risk of cancer.

3. Ear rim

Many people often forget to apply sunscreen to the skin behind their ears. Even if you have long hair, your earlobes are still at risk of cancer if they are not protected.

4. Mouth

If you have a mouth sore that lasts longer than two weeks, you should see a doctor to make sure it's not a sign of skin cancer.

5. Armpit

Malignant tumors often first appear in the armpit and lymph nodes. You can self-examine your armpit by raising one arm and using the other hand to feel for any unusual lumps or bumps on your body.

6. Buttocks

The skin in this area of ​​the body is often overlooked. Don't forget to check for pigmentation and other skin conditions on your buttocks when you have a skin checkup.

8. Toes

The toes may be the most exposed area of ​​the body to sunlight. Yet most people forget to apply sunscreen to protect them.
