Different kinds of Skin Cancer
There are three basic types of skin cancer that commonly affect human beings. The most commonly found kind of cancer is basal cell carcinoma (cancer). The primary cause of this cancer is over exposure to the sun. This is a reason why it will occur mostly in the facial area, or the hands and feet. Although there are no definite classifications, it can be said that people who have extremely sensitive skin are more prone to contracting cancer of all kinds. This is especially true of skin cancer. The absence of melanin, the natural pigmentation of the skin is a primary cause and sometimes also the root of this disease.
The second type of skin cancer that is rampant is known as squamous cell carcinoma. This is manifested as raised and uneven bumps on the skin, that are sometimes quite an angry red color. This is very different from basal cell carcinoma, which changes the color of the skin, but does not develop into ugly bumps until quite late. Both cancers are basically caused by over exposure to the sun. The third type of skin cancer, the deadliest one, is known as malignant melanoma. This type of cancer usually occurs close to a dark area of the skin and spreads rapidly, therefore it is difficult to control and diagnose as well.
