The sun is not going to bother me. Turner finally went to Dr. Cathey for treatment because he noticed some scaly places on his head and the backs of his ears that he would pick at. He read they could be precancerous. The head and neck are the main areas for skin cancers, then the hands and forearms. On women, the upper chest and the lower leg are frequent sites.
Malignant melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer.
On men this type of cancer is normally found on the upper back. Fair skin is a risk factor, although by no means is skin cancer limited to people with fair skin. The greater the tendency to freckle, the greater the risk, generally speaking. And while most of us have moles, few new ones appear in adulthood. Very few cancerous spots will exhibit symptoms such as bleeding or pain.
