What are the symptoms of skin cancer?

Typically, skin cancer occurs on the skin areas that are more sun exposed such as hands, legs, arms, chest, neck, ears, lips, face and scalp. However, it can also develop on the areas which are rarely or not exposed to sunlight such as genital area, beneath the toenails or fingernails and palms. Skin cancer can target individuals of all skin tones.

Symptoms of basal cell carcinoma include:

The type mostly develops in the areas that are more sun exposed for example face or neck. It can appear as:

  • Flat, brown or flesh colored, lesion.
  • A waxy or pearly bump.

Symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma include:

The type usually occurs on the body areas more exposed to sun for example hands, ears and face. Individuals with darker skins have increasing chances of developing this particular type of skin cancer on their skin areas which are not sun exposed. Moreover, it can appear as:

  • Flat lesion that have a crusted, scaly surface.
  • A red, firm nodule.

Symptoms of melanoma include:

People of all skin tones can develop melanoma. In individuals with darker skin tones; melanoma develops on the soles or palms, or under their toenails or fingernails.

  • Small lesion that have irregular portions and border.

  • Dark lesion on your anus or vagina, nose, mucous membranes, toes or fingertips, soles and palms.

What causes skin cancer?

Ultraviolet radiation causes greater extent of damage to the DNA of skin cells. However, this does not merely means that sunlight exposure is the only trigger of skin cancer. Few other factors also contribute in causing the disease, such as toxic substance exposure or a condition that can weaken your immune system.

How is skin cancer diagnosed?

Skin biopsy and physical examination of the skin serve as the basis to diagnose skin cancer. The doctor will conduct few more tests in order to find out the stage of cancer you are suffering from.

The treatment tends to vary depending upon the location, depth, type and size of lesions. Few treatment options include:

  • Excisional surgery.
  • Freezing.
  • Mohs surgery.
  • Curettage and electrodesiccation.
  • Radiation therapy.
  • Chemotherapy.
  • Photodynamic therapy.
  • Biological therapy,
