Skin cancer is the abnormal growth of skin cells which is most often the result of overexposure to the sun and harmful ultraviolet rays although well-covered areas of the body, like your palms or genital area, also can be affected. All pigmentations either dark or light are subject to skin cancer.

Anyone is susceptible to suffer with skin cancer, but those who have a higher risk include individuals who have a heavy exposure to UV rays, lighter skin, family history of skin cancer, prevalent moles, severe sunburns in the past or a weakened immune system. A skin biopsy can be easily performed to diagnose any suspicious growths.

The biopsy is performed by removing cells or skin samples from the surface of your body. The sample taken from a skin biopsy  is then sent to a laboratoru for analysis.

If the biopsy result is positive fo Skin cancers it will usually be  basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma.
