Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S. More than 5 million cases are diagnosed annually! So, what is skin cancer? Skin cancer occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, most often on skin that is exposed to the sun. However, skin cancer can occur on areas of the skin not usually exposed to sunlight.
There are three major types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Both basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas typically appear on sun-exposed areas of the body (face, neck, ears, and hands), while melanomas can develop anywhere on the body (on normal skin or existing moles).
