Condition Overview

Skin cancer is a condition in which damaged skin cells begin to grow abnormally, typically as a result of long-term sun exposure. It may appear as new or changing lesions and includes several types, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

Signs & Symptoms

  • A new or changing mole

  • Spots that bleed or don’t heal

  • Irregular shape or color

  • Rapid growth

Why It Happens

  • Ultraviolet (UV) exposure

  • History of sunburns

  • Fair skin

  • Genetics or prior skin cancer

When to Take the Next Step

Skin cancer is most effectively treated when detected early. Without timely evaluation, lesions may advance and require more complex intervention. Routine screening is recommended—particularly for individuals with higher sun exposure or personal risk factors.

Signs It’s Time for a Visit

If symptoms persist, consider a professional evaluation.

  • A new or changing mole or lesion

  • Spots that bleed, crust, or do not heal

  • Rapid or unusual growth

  • Irregular shape or color changes
