Being Aware Of The Major Types Of Skin Cancer

There are three major types of skin cancer:

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer.
This condition usually is very slow-growing and does not typically spread from the original area in which it is found, typically making it the least dangerous form of skin cancer.
With that in mind, it can damage deeper tissues and bone, particularly when originating near the eye.
A basal cell carcinoma usually manifests as a waxy growth with elevated borders and a dented center.
The condition may also appear as a scaly, dry, or red spot; a crusty lump; a white, scar-like patch; or a bleeding sore that doesn’t heal.

Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Squamous cell carcinomas are dangerous cancers that can be life-threatening. They often present as a red, scaly patch on the skin with irregular borders.
These types of skin cancer may look like an open sore or a wart, and they can bleed if picked at or bumped.
Squamous cell carcinomas often affect areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun – the ears, lips, and other areas of the face are common places where they appear.
They are capable of spreading to the lymph nodes, internal organs, and other body areas.

Melanoma

Melanomas can occur on virtually any area of the body, and they are the most life-threatening type of skin cancer.
Often resembling moles, melanomas are typically uneven in colour, have irregular borders It is vital to regularly check areas of skin for any abnormalities, new growths, or changes to existing growths.
Any type of growth on the skin, whether it’s been there for years or if it’s something that is unfamiliar to you, should be checked by a doctor to ensure it is not cancerous.
The sooner diagnosis and treatment for skin cancer is sought, the greater the chances of survival.
