Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, arising from the abnormal growth of skin cells, often due to excessive UV exposure from the sun or tanning beds. The three main types are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma, the latter being the deadliest. Early detection through regular skin checks and monitoring changes in moles or lesions is crucial. Symptoms may include unusual growths, changes in skin color, or sores that do not heal. Prevention strategies include using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding peak sunlight hours. Timely treatment significantly improves outcomes.
