No pain, but it spreads so fast to other organs.

SKIN CANCER-

For cancer as a whole the feeling is very bad because CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA. In skin cancer definetly there will be pain and bleeding. Please read about the disease and the symptoms.

Skin cancer is a malignant growth on the skin, which can have many causes, including repeated severe sunburn or long-term exposure to the sun. Skin cancer generally develops in the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, so a tumor is usually clearly visible. This makes most skin cancers detectable in the early stages. There are three common types of skin cancer each of which are named after the type of skin cell.

There are a variety of different skin cancer symptoms. These include sores or changes in the skin that do not heal, ulcers in the skin, discoloring in parts of the skin, and changes in existing moles.

Signs and Symptoms

Basal cell carcinoma usually looks like a raised, smooth, pearly bump on the sun-exposed skin of the head, neck or shoulders. Sometimes small blood vessels can be seen within the tumor. Crusting and bleeding in the center of the tumour frequently develops. It is often mistaken for a sore that does not heal.
Squamous cell carcinoma is commonly a red, scaling, thickened patch on sun-exposed skin. Ulceration and bleeding may occur. When SCC is not treated, it may develop into a large mass.
Most malignant melanomas are brown to black looking lesions. Signs that might indicate a malignant melanoma include change in size, shape, color or elevation of a mole. The appearance of a new mole during adulthood, or new pain, itching, ulceration or bleeding of an existing mole should be checked.

There is a full database of information on "skin" cancer on the web. Try the American Cancer Society, to start your search. There are many different forms of "skin" cancer. The majority do start with lessions on the skin. I have not known of any "feelings" related to skin cancer. Watch your moles. Are they irregular shaped? Are they growing? Bleeding? Itching? Raised?
These are just some simple things to look for.
My personal experience: I noticed differnet chances in my body. I was becoming extremely fatigued. Loss of hair. (and addt'l) internal problems. You may want to try typing in Malignant Melanoma to get you started. There is a wealth of information out there...with possible signs. I have yet to feel "pain" ; associated with diagnosis. Only after surgical procedures!

What are the signs and symptoms of skin cancer? Skin cancer can be found early, and both doctors and patients play important roles in finding skin cancer. If you have any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor.

any change on the skin, especially in the size or color of a mole or other darkly pigmented growth or spot, or a new growth
scaliness, oozing, bleeding, or change in the appearance of a bump or nodule
the spread of pigmentation beyond its border such as dark coloring that spreads past the edge of a mole or mark
a change in sensation, itchiness, tenderness, or pain
