Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a disease where skin cells grow in an unusual way. It mostly happens because of too much exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays or from using tanning beds. It’s the most common type of cancer in the world — but also one of the easiest to prevent.
There are three main types: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Melanoma is the most serious and can spread quickly if not found early. Signs to watch for include new moles, changes in old moles, or wounds on the skin that don’t heal.
Anyone can get skin cancer, but people with light skin, those who spend a lot of time in the sun, or have a
family history of skin cancer are more at risk.
To prevent it, wear sunscreen every day, avoid the sun during peak hours, and check your skin regularly. Early detection can make all the difference. Stay sun-safe and skin-aware.
