​ Cancer in itself is a very dangerous disease. The abnormal groth of the infected cells can affect other parts of the body and can be deadly. Skin cancer is one type of cancer that can spread to other parts of the body.

The two most common kinds of skin cancer:

Basal call carcinoma accounts for 90% of all skin cancers. It is a slow growing cancer that seldom spreads to other parts of the body. However, if left untreated, it can spread to nearby areas and invade bone and other tissues under the skin. Squamous cell carcinoma is much less common than basal cell carcinoma. It can be more aggressive than basal cell carcinoma and is also more likely to grow deep below the skin and spread to distant parts of the body. This form is alot more dangerous than Basal cell carcinoma. These types of skin cancer are sometimes called nonmelanoma skin cancer. When they are found early, there is nearly a 100% chance for cure

Many skin cancers that are caught in early stages can be cured easily or removed.
