Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer.
The skin appears to change in texture or color and a sore or nodule may develop on your skin. Some diseases and some chemicals increase a person s risk of developing skin cancer. Also, if you have another type of cancer, the cancer may spread to your skin. Many skin cancers occur on the face, but they can appear anywhere on the skin. Skin cancer that is untreated or partially treated may result in more severe cancer problems.
