Skin Cancer Types
Skin cancer can be a serious condition, but when detected and treated early, it can be successfully eliminated with minimal damage to the skin.
What is Skin Cancer?
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that affects the skin cells. Once the cells become affected, they begin rapidly multiplying. This is what causes the growths that often indicate the development of skin cancer. The most common cause of skin cancer is overexposure to UV rays, typically from the sun. However, skin cancer can still develop for other reasons and may be more common in patients with a genetic disposition for the condition.
Since there are many types of cells that make up the skin, the type of skin cancer will depend on the type of skin cell affected. Some of the commonly affected skin cells are the squamous cells, basal cells, and melanocyte cells. At Goodman Dermatology, we specialize in the treatment of all skin cancers to provide effective care for all patients.
