What is Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer is a condition in which skin cells grow abnormally. It mostly manifests itself in areas exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun or artificial sources such as solariums. However, in some cases, it can also develop in areas not exposed to sunlight. Skin cancer is classified into two main categories: non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and melanoma. The annual incidence of NMSC worldwide is 2-3 million cases.

First category
The first category is basal and squamous cell skin cancer. Basal and squamous are the most common forms of skin cancer. It develops in areas that are most exposed to the sun, such as the head and neck. It is less likely to spread and life-threatening than other types of skin cancer. But if left untreated, the cancer can grow and spread to other parts of the body.

Second category

The second category is melanoma. Melanoma is made up of cells that give your skin its color. These cells are called melanocytes. This skin cancer can develop in any part of your body.
