Persistent itching on only one side, accompanied by redness or changes in skin texture (“orange peel” appearance), may indicate inflammatory breast cancer, which can also affect men.

5. Anal area and reproductive organs

Constant itching in this area, which does not subside with treatments and worsens at night, could be related to early-stage cancer. It should not be ignored out of shame.

6. Palms of the hands and soles of the feet

If the itching appears only in these areas, especially at night, and the skin has a yellowish tone or more pronounced lines, it may be an incicator of internal toxins related to certain types of cancer.

Five Steps to Self-Assessment at Home

Three-week test: If the itching doesn’t improve in this time, it deserves medical attention.

Lotion test: Apply cream for 7 days; If there is no relief, the cause may not be in the skin.

Review of secondary symptoms: weight loss for no reason, extreme tiredness, fevers or night sweats together with itching require consultation.

Analysis of the pattern: if it always appears at night or at the same point, it suspects an internal problem.

Family history: If there is a history of cancer in parents or siblings, the risk is higher.
