The Misconceptions About Skin Cancer

Skin is the largest and most active sense organ in the body. It performs a multitude of crucial duties for the body's basic functions. One of the major functions of skin is that it protects the internal organs from the outside world. In recent times, there is a significant rise in cancer rates due to environmental stresses that can have an impact on the skin and raise the risk of skin cancer. Although there are several risk factors for skin cancer, UV radiation from sunlight is considered the main cause of skin malignancies.

Early detection of skin cancer can increase the chance of cure and recovery, like any other cancer. Hence, it is important to be aware of the early signs of skin cancer which include changes in the appearance of a mole, skin changes after a mole has been removed, itchiness, persistent oozing, a sore or spot that won't go away, scaly patches, vision problems, changes in your fingernails or toenails.
