Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The second most common type of skin cancer is Squamous Cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma also occurs most often on sun-exposed skin and may look like a scaly red patch with irregular borders, a wart-like growth, or an open sore. These cancers may bleed easily if bumped or disturbed. Treatments for this type of cancer include: excisional surgery, electrosurgery, radiation and microscopically controlled surgery.

Melanoma Skin Cancer

The most dangerous type of skin cancer is Melanoma. Melanoma may occur on any area of the body and may resemble a mole, but there are important differences. If you notice changes in a mole you should contact a physician immediately. A melanoma may present as an asymmetrical lesion with an irregular border. If the color or pigmentation of the area is not uniform, or if the diameter of the area is greater than six millimeters, these are also danger signs.
