• Types of Skin Cancer
There are three major types of skin cancer
• Basal cell carcinoma - This type of skin cancer usually appears on the surface of the skin. It is limited to the upper layers of the skin. It is not invasive and easy to treat via surgery.
• Squamous cell carcinoma - It is commonly found in the areas of the body that are exposed to friction, carcinogenic substances and in individuals with genetic predisposition to cancers.
• Melanoma - It can develop anywhere in body; it usually develops from the cells that give skin colour- melanocytes. It is the most aggressive form of skin cancers – and is dangerous. Early detection is key to prevent it from spreading.
