3 common Skin Cancer types
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Basal Cell Carcinoma – the most common, usually pink, may have some pigmentation, usually localised and not life threatening and potentially more serious on head and neck.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Usually scaly, pink, raised and maybe tender. Often arise from pre-cancerous usually pink scaly sunspots (solar keratosis). More serious, as they can spread to lymph glands.
Melanoma
The most serious, as it can spread via the bloodstream throughout the body. It can be flat or raised, fast or slow growing, obviously brown, black, grey or mixed coloured or on fair skin pink and subtle.
