Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer found on the human body. Anyone at any age can develop skin cancer, although the risk increases if someone is exposed to ultraviolet rays such as from the sun or in a tanning bed. The early signs of skin cancer can be identified at home before going to a dermatologist or physician for diagnosis. Skin cancer that occurs in the facial area should be treated immediately to prevent further spread of disease and the possibility of scarring.
