Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the skin cells. It is the most common form of cancer worldwide. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer, usually appearing as a small, waxy bump or a flat, flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion. It typically occurs in areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and hands.
