Skin Tumors

Skin tumors are abnormal tissue growths on the skin that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They can occur anywhere on the skin and can be caused by a variety of factors, including sun exposure, genetics, and hormones. Some of the most common skin tumor types are basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, melanomas, and Kaposi’s sarcoma. Treatment for skin tumors may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, oral medications, or topical creams. Early detection and treatment of skin tumors is often essential for improving prognosis and long-term outcomes.
