Squamous Cell Carcinoms is another common form of skin cancer. When these tumors first appear they are firm to the touch. They, like the basal cell carcinomas, appear most often on sun-exposed areas of your body. Malignant Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer. When detected early and with proper treatment, the recovery rate from this form of skin cancer can be very high.
Actinitic keratosis is a precancerous skin condition.
They are small scaly spots commonly found on the face and back of the hands of fair-skinned people who have had significant exposure to the sun. A sunscreen with an SPF 15 means that you can stay out in the sun 15 times longer than you can with no protection before you skin begins to turn pink. Your eyes are also sensitive to overexposure of UV radiation. UV-B is partly absorbed by the cornea. UV-A passes through the cornea and with time and overexposure may contribute to the formation of cataracts.
