Skin Cancer

---

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that affects the skin cells. There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are the most common types and are often caused by exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays. Melanoma, on the other hand, is less common but more dangerous and can spread to other parts of the body if not treated early.
