How the person gets this disease? Studies have shown that smoking

tobacco and related products can double the risk of skin cancer.

How the person gets this disease? Overexposure to UV-radiation may

cause skin cancer either via the direct DNA damage or via the indirect DNA damage mechanism. Overexposure (burning) UVA & UVB have both been implicated in causing DNA damage resulting in cancer.

How the person gets this disease?

Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals.

What are the signs and symptoms?

Basal cell carcinoma usually looks like a raised, smooth, pearly bump on the sun-exposed skin of the head, neck or shoulders. Sometimes small blood vessels can be seen within the tumor. 

What are the signs and symptoms? Squamous cell carcinoma is commonly a

red, scaling, thickened patch on sun-exposed skin. Ulceration and bleeding may occur.

What are the signs and symptoms? Most melanomas are brown to black

looking lesions. Warning signs that might indicate a malignant melanoma include change in size, shape, color or elevation of a mole.

rapidly growing, non-tender red, purple or skin colored bumps that are not painful or itchy. They may be mistaken for a cyst or other type of cancer.

Avoid the use of tobacco products.

Reducing overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, especially in early years

Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB radiation

how else can prevent getting this disease? Reapply sun block as per the

manufacturers directions

Ensuring suitable unprotected exposure (15 minutes a day suggested maximum) to the sun to allow adequate Vitamin D formation

What are the life expectancy of a person who gets this disease?

This depends on how advanced the cancer stage is.

How the doctor diagnosed the disease?

Clinical diagnosis is made with visual appearance or with the aid of a dermatoscope.

The ABCD guideline is helpful for identifying dysplastic nevus and melanoma.

Clinical diagnosis can only be confirmed with a skin biopsy.
