Skin cancer is the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of skin cells, typically caused by DNA damage from ultraviolet (UV) radiation—often due to sun exposure or tanning beds. While it commonly appears on areas exposed to the sun, it can develop anywhere on the body.
The three main types of skin cancer are Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), which is the most common and grows slowly; Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), which can grow deeper and potentially spread if untreated; and Melanoma, the most dangerous form, known for spreading rapidly if not caught early.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment are crucial for the best outcomes. Understanding the symptoms, risk factors, and treatment options helps in managing and preventing skin cancer effectively.
