Skin Cancer is the most common cancer that affects humans. Exposed skin without sunblock is more susceptible to skin cancer, and the severity of cancer may vary.
Basal Cell Carcinomas (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinomas (SCC), and Melanoma are the most common types of skin cancer. Skin cancers such as BCC are the least aggressive. It does not spread to other parts of the body in most cases, but it can grow slowly and cause anatomical and functional problems if not treated in time. SCC, on the other hand, is more aggressive and can spread to other parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes that affects the prognosis.
A significant number of factors contribute to the development of skin cancer, including sun exposure, ageing, skin type, carcinogen exposure, immunosuppression, genetic mutations, chronic wounds, radiation exposure and viral infections.
