SKIN CANCER
There are several types of cancer that start in the skin.
The
most common are basal cell cancer and squamous cell
cancer. Skin
cancer is more common in people with light colored skin who have
spent a lot of time in the sunlight. Skin cancer can occur anywhere
on your body, but it is most common in places that have been exposed
to more sunlight, such as your face, neck, hands, and arms.
Skin cancer can look many different ways. The most common sign of skin cancer is a change on the skin, such as a growth or a sore that won't heal. Sometime there may be a small lump. This lump can be smooth, shiny and waxy looking, or it can be red or reddish brown. Skin cancer may also appear as a flat red spot that is rough or scaly. Not all changes in your skin are cancer, but you should see your doctor if you notice changes in your skin.
