What are some signs of skin cancer?
The most common warning sign of skin cancer is a change in the appearance ofthe skin, such as a new growth or a sore that will not heal.





The term "skin cancer" refers to three different conditions. Fromthe least to the most dangerous, they are:





basal cell carcinoma (or basal cell carcinoma epithelioma)


squamous cell carcinoma


melanoma


The two most common forms of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma andsquamous cell carcinoma. Together, these two are also referred to as nonmelanomaskin cancer. Melanoma is generally the most serious form of skin cancer becauseit tends to spread (metastasize) throughout the body quickly.
