Skin Cancer

scp Skin cancer is a serious condition that can have potentially life-threatening consequences. With that in mind, it's important to understand the various types of skin cancer and the signs and symptoms associated with them. Let's take a look at what skin cancer is and the three major types of skin cancer.

Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This type of radiation can come from both natural sources like sunlight and artificial sources such as tanning beds. The most common type of skin cancer is melanoma, which accounts for about 3% of all skin cancers but causes the majority of skin cancer deaths. Other major forms of skin cancer include basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
