Symptoms of Facial Skin Cancer
There are two categories of skin cancer: Melanoma and non-Melanoma. Of the two the former is fatal in many cases. Non-Melanoma type skin cancer could either be Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) or Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC).
The type that shows up on the face first is called Basal Cell Carcinoma. It usually is a result of years or sustained exposure to direct sunlight without any protection. It is highly recommended that in order to prevent the occurrence of this type of skin cancer people use sun screen with an SPF of at least 30. Patches of skin on the face that appear waxy indicate the presence of this cancer. These patches are small and lumpy and not sensitive to pain. They usually appear mildly inflamed and take on a reddish pink or brownish gray hue. The outer edge of the patch will be irregularly shaped. Over time the patch with appear more inflamed and take on a sunken appearance in the center.
SCC on the other hand is indicated if the patch is scaly and develops into a reddish colored painless bump that finally ends up as a ulcer on the face that refuses to heal. SCC however can show up on any exposed areas of the skin Melanoma also is evident not just on the face and is indicated by growths that have a mole-like appearance.
