Cancerous skin spots

Cancerous skin spots, often referred to as skin cancer, are abnormal growths of skin cells that can develop on any part of the body.
The most common types of skin cancer include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
These cancers typically arise due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds.
It's crucial to identify and treat skin cancer early, as it can spread to other parts of the body if left untreated.
Symptoms of cancerous skin spots can vary depending on the type of skin cancer.
Basal cell carcinoma may appear as a pearly or waxy bump, a flat, flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion, or a bleeding or scabbing sore that heals and returns.
Squamous cell carcinoma might present as a firm, red nodule, or a flat lesion with a scaly, crusted surface.
Melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, often appears as a large brownish spot with darker speckles, a mole that changes in color, size, or feel, or a lesion with an irregular border and portions that appear red, white, blue, or black.
Early detection of cancerous skin spots is vital.
Regular self-examinations can help you notice any new or changing lesions.
Look for asymmetry, irregular borders, color changes, diameter larger than a pencil eraser, and evolving size, shape, or color.
If you notice any suspicious changes, it's important to seek medical advice promptly.
