Abstract
Skin cancer is a common type of cancer that is defined by abnormal skin cell development, mostly as a result of exposure to UV radiation. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of cancer due to its rapid spread, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.Early detection, complicated treatments, prevention and awareness, and recurrence risk are major obstacles. Even with these difficulties, if caught early enough, skin cancer is very treatable. Skin cancer can be managed and its effects reduced by promoting sun protection, conducting routine skin exams, and seeking medical attention as soon as changes in the skin seem worrisome.This article explores the types of skin cancers, the role of UV radiation in skin cancer, as well as the risk and approaches to combating skin cancer. This serves to enlighten the public about the disease.
