Non-melanoma Skin Cancer
Non-melanoma skin cancer is the most common type of skin cancer. It is usually caused by long-term sun exposure which can damage the skin cells, leading to abnormal growths. Symptoms include changes in the size, shape, or color of existing moles, the growth of new skin lesions, and/or thick, scaly patches of skin. Treatment options for non-melanoma skin cancer include topical creams, radiation therapy, and surgical removal. Early detection and treatment is key to preventing further complications and improving outcomes. Non-melanoma skin cancer is highly preventable, making sun protection and regular skin checks critical.
