The three most common forms of skin cancer are:

• Basal Cell Carcinoma; typically seen on the face as red sores with a pearly rolled edges that can bleed and never fully heal.
• Squamous cell carcinoma; can be seen anywhere on the skin and appear more crusty and dry with red scaly patches
• Malignant Melanoma; has a wide range of appearances and is typically pigmented.

These skin cancers can present variably and so it is critical to seek an expert opinion as soon as you notice any changes in your skin.
