Depends on the type of skin cancer.There are three main types,Basal cell,Squamous cell and Melanoma.Basal cell,will usually appear as a bump or small nodule on the skin.Usually an area that have been exposed to the sun.We see many older men and women who own these on their nose,head.Very treatable with radiation or Mohs surgery.Squamous cell is a short time more aggressive than Basal cell.It also appears as a red inflamed patch or nodule.Usually found on the face.Ears are a common place.Very treatable.If either of these are gone untreated,they can erode into the skin and surrounding structures.Melanoma occurs in the skin cells that generate the pigment for your skin.Usually a silent killer.Look for changes in a mole.Its size,color,shape.If caught impulsive,it is treatable.Late stage has a poor prognosis.
