Skin cancer is the formation of a malignant lesion due to abnormal cell growth. These growths predominantly affect individuals of Scandinavian or Nordic descent with fair skin that burns easily, light eye and hair color, and freckling. However, all ethnicities and skin tones can develop skin cancer. Thus, it is important to discuss any persistent facial lesions with abnormal coloration, scab or crust formation, repetitive bleeding, and/or irregularity of shape with Dr. Givens.
