Skin Cancer Awareness and Understanding

Affecting any area of the body, skin cancer develops from the skin cells. It often stems from ultraviolet light that originates from tanning beds or the sun. Even those of us living in Conway can’t entirely avoid spending time outdoors, every day, week, and month we are exposed to sunlight. 


The wonderful news is most skin cancer lesions respond very well to skin cancer treatment especially caught in the early stages. Your greatest defense to prevent skin cancer is to set routine appointments with a dermatologist for skin cancer screenings. 


Call Atlantic Dermatology today to arrange a skin cancer screening at 843-399-9965.

Types of Skin Cancer

Mutations that develop in the DNA of skin cells are the cause of skin cancer. When our skin becomes damaged in this way, the mutated skin cells can multiply rapidly in a strange pattern. These anomalies in our skin cell production lead to malignant tumors. 

Malignant tumors can appear in various forms. Some forms are skin cancer are common, some are rare, yet in a different manner. 
Three types of skin cancer are:

  • Malignant Melanoma
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma
  • Basal Cell Carcinoma

Squamous Cell Carcinoma generally appears on the parts of the body most frequently exposed to the sun, although it can appear anywhere on the body. It is the second most common type of skin cancer. 

This type of skin cancer is able to grow deeper into the skin tissue and extend to other parts of the body. Squamous Cell Carcinoma is almost always curable when detected early and surgically removed.

Basal Cell Carcinoma often develops on the parts of the skin most frequently exposed to the sun. 

These areas tend to be arms, hands, neck, ears and scalp.This is the most common type of skin cancer and typically, basal cell carcinoma is the slowest growing form of skin cancer. 

Be Aware of the Warning Signs for Skin Cancer 

Skin cancer bumps and unusual marks or spots can vary greatly. They don’t always appear the same.
