May is\u00a0Skin Cancer Awareness Month<\/a>, when interest in skin cancer prevention<\/a>, detection<\/a> and treatment<\/a> is high. Hopefully you\u2019ve learned something new from The Skin Cancer Foundation that can help keep you and your family safe. Skin Cancer Awareness Month is also a good time to go back to basics. Here\u2019s a quick refresher on the major types of skin cancer<\/a>: how they form, what they look like and their prognoses.<\/p>\n

Basal Cell Carcinoma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Basal cell carcinoma<\/a> (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer, with approximately 3.6 million cases diagnosed in the U.S. every year. This kind of tumor arises from (no surprises) the skin\u2019s basal cells. These cells line the deepest layer of the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. BCCs are uncontrolled growths that can appear as open sores, scars, shiny bumps or red patches. Following a complete sun-protection strategy vastly reduces your risk of developing BCCs, which are usually caused by a combination of cumulative and intense, intermittent sun exposure. View BCC photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The good news is that BCCs rarely metastasize (spread to other organs). However, if a tumor is not spotted early or properly treated, it can be locally destructive and cause significant scarring or even disfigurement. People can sometimes lose part of an ear or nose.<\/p>\n

Squamous Cell Carcinoma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Squamous cell carcinoma<\/a> (SCC) is second to BCC in prevalence, but still affects an estimated 1.8 million people in the U.S. every year. These tumors arise from squamous cells, which are located on the upper levels of the epidermis, and can manifest as scaly red patches, warts or open sores. They may crust or bleed. View\u00a0SCC photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SCCs are more dangerous than BCCs, as they have the potential to metastasize if not detected and treated at an early stage. Prevention is, again, key \u2014 SCCs are mainly caused by cumulative ultraviolet (UV) radiation<\/a> exposure over the course of a lifetime. The intense UV rays present in the summer months, those reflected off ice and snow in winter, and those coming from indoor tanning bed use all add up, contributing to skin damage that can lead to SCC.<\/p>\n

Melanoma<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Melanoma<\/a> is perhaps the best-known type of skin cancer, and for a troubling reason \u2014 it\u2019s the most dangerous form of the disease. Arising from pigment-producing melanocytes, melanomas can become very hard to treat and even be fatal if allowed to progress. If the cancer is caught early, however, a patient has an estimated 5-year survival rate of 99 percent. That\u2019s why knowing how to recognize a potential melanoma \u2014 and then getting yourself to a dermatologist \u2014 is so important.<\/p>\n

The majority of melanomas appear black or dark brown, but they can also appear pink, white, red, blue or purple. The ABCDEs<\/a> of melanoma and the Ugly Duckling<\/a> signs can help you in identifying them. View melanoma photos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There can be a genetic component<\/a> to melanoma; people whose first-degree relatives have had melanoma are at far greater risk of developing the disease. However, your habits in the sun are just as important: Intense, occasional UV exposure (the kind you may receive on a vacation in the tropics, typically leading to sunburn) can trigger tumors; on average, a person\u2019s risk for melanoma doubles if he or she has had more than five sunburns.<\/p>\n

BCCs, SCCs and melanomas are the major types of skin cancer, but there are other forms to be aware of, including\u00a0Merkel cell carcinoma, <\/a>a rare form of aggressive skin cancer, and acral lentiginous melanoma<\/a>, a rare melanoma that often occurs on people with darker skin. Learn more about rare skin cancers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No matter what, if you see anything new, changing or unusual<\/a> on your skin, get it checked out as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
