Skin cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the skin cells. It occurs when skin cells undergo genetic mutations that cause them to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. Skin cancer is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. However, other factors such as genetics, certain medical conditions, and exposure to certain chemicals can also contribute to its development.
There are three major types of skin cancer:
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It usually appears on sun-exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, scalp, neck, and shoulders. BCC grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. It often appears as a pearly, translucent bump or a pinkish skin patch.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): SCC is the second most common type of skin cancer. It typically occurs on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, lips, and hands. SCC grows faster than BCC and can spread to other body areas if left untreated. It often appears as a scaly, red, or crusted bump or a rapidly growing and non-healing sore.
Melanoma: Although less common than basal and squamous cell carcinomas, melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It can develop anywhere on the body, including areas not exposed to the sun. Melanoma usually starts in pigmented cells called melanocytes, which produce the skin pigment melanin. Melanoma may resemble an existing mole or appear as a new dark spot or an irregularly shaped, multicolored lesion. It can potentially metastasize (spread) to other body parts, making early detection crucial for successful treatment.
Symptoms and Warning Signs of Skin Cancer:
New or changing moles or growths on the skin.
Moles with irregular borders, uneven coloration, or a mixture of colors.
Moles or growths that increase in size, thickness, or height.
Sores that do not heal or continue to bleed.
Itchy, painful, or tender spots on the skin.
Lesions with asymmetrical shapes or uneven edges.
Spots that evolve or change over time.
Prevention and Early Detection:
Protect your skin from harmful UV radiation by seeking shade, wearing protective clothing (including wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses), and regularly using broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF.
Avoid using tanning beds or sunlamps.
Perform regular skin self-examinations to check for any changes or suspicious growths.
Schedule regular skin cancer screenings with a dermatologist, especially if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer or other risk factors.
Report any concerning changes in your skin to a healthcare professional.
