Skin cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. Skin cancer numbers are on the rise, and currently, 9,500 cases are diagnosed every day. More people have skin cancer than all other cancers combined. For help with information or yearly exams for skin cancer in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, you can count on the dermatologists at Gardens Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery Center to provide what you need.
Types of Skin Cancer
There are three main types of skin cancer:
Melanoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma
The most common type of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma. It begins at the basal layer of the skin, which is located in the top layer of the skin, the epidermis. Basal cells usually appear in areas exposed to the sun, like the neck, the face, and the scalp. This skin cancer in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, is caused by excessive or prolonged exposure to UV rays. It is rarely fatal.
Squamous cell carcinoma begins in the squamous cells, which are also located in the epidermis. It appears in areas of the body exposed to the sun, and overexposure to UV rays and tanning beds causes this type of cancer.
Melanoma is the most severe form of cancer. It causes more than 9,000 deaths each year. It is most common among people over 60, but being young is no guarantee you won't get it.
There is a fourth type of skin cancer, a rare but aggressive form of cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma. It is the type of cancer that killed singer Jimmy Buffett. It is more likely than other types of skin cancer to spread to different parts of the body, including the lymph nodes or other organs. It is hard to treat, and even after treatment, it is likely to return.
Risk Factors for Skin Cancer
There are two main risk factors for skin cancer: the sun and genetics. Having light-colored skin is a risk factor as well, but skin cancer is not exclusive to fair-skinned folk.
How to Protect Yourself From Skin Cancer
The best thing you can do for your skin is to protect it from UV rays. Wear sunblock, light clothing to cover the body, and a hat to protect the scalp.
Get a full body exam from a dermatologist yearly because early detection is essential.
