What Is Skin Cancer?

Skin cancer forms in tissues of the skin. Basal cell or squamous cell cancer forms in cells that do not make pigment. Both types usually occur in skin that has been exposed to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight or tanning beds, most commonly on the face, neck, hands, and arms and legs.

Skin cancers are more common than all other cancers combined, and, collectively, their incidence is rising faster than that of any other cancer.
