One fine day when I was at a local store I was impressed by the hair coloring of the clerk seated there. I told her how beautiful the coloring looked on her with that perfect dark base and the streaks that looked so natural. It seemed as if the sun itself had beautifully dyed her hair. We got talking about how when we were young we did not have to take the help of any hair dye. We had to spray SunIn on the hair and exposed it to sunlight for an hour or so and we had the desired hair color. This led to discussing how that was almost impossible now what with the ozone layer weakening and the ultraviolet rays having the potential to cause irreparable damage to our hair. (SunIn by the way is not one of the aerosols but is a pump spray).
But you probably didn't come here to read about hair coloring techniques that are sun-free or chemical free, for that matterat least not specifically. You came looking for information on the different types of skin cancer. The speculation and theory does hold some evidence against chemicals in-ahem-health and beauty products; and it does point to the sun's "damaging rays" as a possible cause, etc., but here, since we aren't medical professionals, specialist, or experts, the info on the types of skin cancer is going to be basic and absent of finger-pointing, if you will:
There are three types of skin cancer: Basal Cell Carcinoma (a.k.a. non-melanoma skin cancer); Squamous Cell Carcinoma; and Melanoma.
Melanoma- It is also referred to as Cutaneous Melanoma and Malignant Melanoma. The cancer cells that lead to the disease are formed in the melanocytes. These melanocytes cause skin pigmentation. According to the reports published by the University of Maryland Medicine, melanoma is the rarest from of skin cancer and also the most malignant. It is mostly found in people who have a light complexion, light eyes and light hair. This however does not chalk out the possibility of the disease attacking people with other complexions as well. Individuals with black or brown complexion are just as susceptible to it. The symptoms that are the result of the disease are a mole that changes shape, color, size, or state (if it starts bleeding or oozing), or as per the study of UMM, it may be that the mole feels swollen, hard, and itchy,.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma- This is also known as non-melanoma skin cancer. In the early stages it manifested in red colored patches or nodules in the skin. It is the second most common type of cancer and affects mostly the fair skinned. It is evident mostly in the rims of the ears, lips, face, and mouth.
Basal Cell Carcinoma- This is another common type of cancer and is found mostly on the neck, head, and/or hands. It appears as a small fleshy nodule or bump. Among the three different types of skin cancer Basal Cell Carcinoma affects the Caucasians and over 90% of the people in US who have skin cancer suffer from Basal Cell Carcinoma.
My mother had the second most common of the types of skin cancer, on her lip, and while we at first teased her that it was herpes, she was smart enough to know it was a "sun blister" and quick enough to catch it by going to a specialist. That's the good news, to give you hope when you bemoan the loss of days picnicking, swimming, and "bathing" under the wonderful sun. - 15255
