There are two types of skin cancer that often get talked about as one type of skin cancer however they behave quite differently
Melanoma skin cancer accounts for 16,200 melanoma cases and 2,300 deaths per year in the UK
Non melanoma skin cancer accounts for 152,000 skin cancer cases with 720 deaths per year in the UK
Melanoma skin cancer is by far the more serious, but non-melanoma is also a risk and affects thousands of Brits each year.
