Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor. Being aware of symptoms and preventive measures can significantly reduce complications and mortality.<\/p><h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Types of Skin Cancer<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three major types:<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>1. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common type. It grows slowly and rarely spreads, but can invade nearby tissues. Typically appears as a clear bump or persistent sore lasting more than 2\u20133 weeks.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p class=\"translation-block\">The second most common type, often caused by cumulative UV exposure. Appears in sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, or ears. Often presents as a scaly, bleeding sore that doesn\u2019t heal.<\/p><h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>3. Melanoma<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most dangerous type. Though less common, it can rapidly spread to other organs. Often starts as a mole that changes in shape, size, or color.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Risk factors<\/b><\/span><\/h2><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UV exposure (sunlight or tanning beds)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family history of skin cancer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fair skin, blue or green eyes, blonde or red hair<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weakened immune system<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exposure to chemicals such as arsenic or certain drugs<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Signs and Observation<\/b><\/span><\/h2><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sores that don't heal after 2\u20133 weeks<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moles that change shape, color, or size<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumps that bleed, itch, or hurt<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\">Abnormal dark spots (use the ABCDE rule)<\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Diagnosis Methods<\/b><\/span><\/h2><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical examination by a dermatologist<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dermatoscope-assisted skin examination<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\" class=\"translation-block\">Biopsy to examine cells under a microscope<\/li><\/ul><h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><b>Treatment Options<\/b><\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment depends on the type, size, location, and stage:<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b>1.
