Skin cancer is a type of cancer that begins in skin cells. There are many kinds of skin cancer but the most common are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. These two types are often able to be cured. The most dangerous type, melanoma, is more likely to spread and can be harder to cure.
Skin cancer can look like many things. It may present as a new growth on the skin, like a mole, bump, or scab. Or it could be a rough patch of skin or a sore that won’t heal. A good rule of thumb is to look for anything new, or any changes to an existing mole or freckle.
If you notice a spot that is changing size, shape, or color or you have a suspicious new spot, it’s always a good idea to schedule an appointment with your dermatologist. Remember, catching skin cancer early is the biggest key to successful treatment.
A skin cancer specialist will exam the spot and decide if you need a biopsy, this can tell the dermatologist whether the spot contains cancer cells. If you do have skin cancer, the specialist can walk you through your treatment options.
