“The Things You Should Know”

What are the types of skin cancer

Tell me please
There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, which is the most serious of skin cancer. 1.Basal cell carcinoma This is the most common skin cancer. It’s also the most easily treated and the least likely to spread. Basal cell carcinoma usually appears as one of the following: -A pearly or waxy bump on your face, ears or neck -A flat, flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion on your chest or back 2.Squamous cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma is easily treated if detected early, but it’s slightly more apt to spread than is basal cell carcinoma. Most often, squamous cell carcinoma appears as one of the following: -A firm, red nodule on your face, lips, ears, neck, hands or arms -A flat lesion with a scaly, crusted surface on your face, ears, neck, hands or arms 3.Melanoma This is the most serious form of skin cancer and the one responsible for most skin cancer deaths. Melanoma can develop anywhere on your body, in otherwise normal skin or in an existing mole that turns malignant. Melanoma most often appears on the trunk, head or neck of affected men. In women, this type of cancer most often develops on the arms or legs. Warning signs of melanoma include: -A large brownish spot with darker speckles located anywhere on your body -A simple mole located anywhere on your body that changes in color, size or feel or that bleeds -A small lesion with an irregular border and red, white, blue or blue-black spots on your trunk or limbs -Shiny, firm, dome-shaped bumps located anywhere on your body Dark lesions on your palms, soles, fingertips and toes, or on mucous membranes lining your mouth, nose, vagina and anus -
