Types of skin cancer
There are three major types of skin cancer. These include:
Basal cell carcinoma: Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer that usually occurs in people who have fair skin. It appears as a slightly transparent bump on the skin and on areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun such as your head and neck.
Squamous cell carcinoma: Squamous cell carcinoma develops in the squamous cells that make up the middle and outer layers of the skin, as per Mayo Clinic. This type of skin cancer is characterized by a red firm bump, scaly patch, or a sore that heals and then reopens.
Melanoma: Melanoma is the most serious kind of skin cancer that develops in the melanocytes, the cell that produces melanin. It can develop within a mole or appear suddenly on your skin as a dark spot.
Other types of skin cancers include: cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), merkel cell carcinoma, sebaceous carcinoma.

Which areas of the body are most prone to skin cancer
Skin cancer can develop in any part of the body. However, because it typically occurs due to UV light exposure, it's often found in areas of the body exposed to the sunlight. Common sites include the face, especially the nose and the cheeks, ears, scalp, shoulders, arms, and hands.

Experts also believe those who live in warmer climates may be prone to skin cancers in areas such as the torso and back, as well as the legs.
Signs of skin cancer
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association (AADA), skin cancer may appear on the body in many different ways. Some of the tell-tale signs can be:
- Changing mole or mole that looks different from your others
- Dome-shaped growth
- Scaly patch
- Non-healing sore or sore that heals and returns
- Brown or black streak under a nail
When in doubt, visit your doctor
In order to diagnose skin cancer, you must visit your doctor for a thorough check-up.
Your doctor may examine your skin, look for noticeable skin changes that are associated with skin cancer and may recommend further testing.
They can remove a small area of the suspicious skin for testing as a sample. Also called the biopsy, it can determine what type of skin cancer you have and whether it is serious.
