Skin Cancer

I choose this topic because for me is really important, people can know about other diseases they can get like skin cancer wich is sores in your skin.There are three  tipes of skin cancer the first one is: Basal Cell Carcinoma This type of skin cancer only grow in the basal cell layer and spreads to other parts of the body, which may turn more destructive and disfiguring. Squamous Cell Carcinoma  this disease Can be found in the squamous cells of the body ,this cancer on the skin starts out as a rough, dry scaly spot that won't heal.Melanoma this cause the pigment in the skin, the cells can growth change shape and color.
 
   The Symptoms of this disease are a mole that  changes color or a scaly spot that bleeds.Basal cell carcinoma might show a raised, smooth, pearly bump on the sun-exposed skin of the head, neck or shoulders. Squamous cell carcinoma will look red and show a thickened patch on sun-exposed skin. Melanomas are generally brown to black looking lesions.
   Causes of this disease is sun exposure without  sunscreen this is one of the greatest  risk for skin cancer.Anyone who has been sunburned is at increased risk of skin cancer particularly those with fair skin or those who have ever blistered from a sunburn. You need to be careful  because this is a serious disease use sunscreen when you are going anywhere because I'm pretty sure you don't want your skin look like this=(
