What is Skin Cancer?

• Proper education regarding skin cancer can help
  you prevent and fight against cancer. There are
  many types of skin cancer, but all share the
  commonality of uncontrolled skin cell growth.
  Skin cancer occurs when something in the
  environment triggers genetic mutations or defects
  that prompt your skin cells to rapidly multiply
  and form tumors. The treatment path for skin
  cancer depends on the type of cancer and how far
  the disease has progressed.

cancer and occurs in the outermost layer of your
epidermis. If allowed to grow without treatment,
squamous cell carcinomas can become disfiguring.
