Abstract

Skin cancer is on the rise, and it’s spreading like a virus. The most prevalent skin cancer is basal cell cancer, which may usually be treated with simple excision. Actinic keratosis-premalignant lesions treated with cry therapy, excision, curettage, or topical 5-fluorouracil-may is present before squamous cell malignancies develop. Squamous cell carcinoma can normally be healed by local excision, but it can sometimes penetrate deeper systems and spread. Malignant melanoma, which accounts for 75 percent of all skin cancer-related deaths, is characterised by aggressive local growth and spread. Patients with malignant melanoma with early detection have a far better prognosis. The ABCD and seven-point checklists can help determine which pigmented lesions require excision, although it’s difficult to differentiate between them. All skin neoplasms are linked to sun exposure, which is still the most important risk factor. As a result, patients should be taught basic “sun safety” practises such as avoiding the sun during peak UV-B hours, using sunscreen and protective clothes properly, and not tanning.
