There are several types of skin cancer, but the most common are:
1. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): This is the most common form of skin cancer. It arises from the basal cells in the epidermis and is typically slow-growing. BCCs rarely spread to other parts of the body but can cause significant local damage if left untreated.
2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC): This type arises from the squamous cells and is more likely to spread than BCC. SCCs often appear as red, scaly patches or open sores and can be more aggressive.
3. Melanoma: This is the most dangerous form of skin cancer, originating from the melanocytes, the cells that produce pigment. Melanoma is more likely to spread to other parts of the body if not detected early.
