It appears on skin parts that are commonly exposed to sun. Children and adults run the higher risk of getting this type of cancer especially for them who had organ transplant.

The case is different from another type of skin cancer that is squamous cell carcinoma that commonly develops in fair-skinned people with scaly patch of skin in inflamed base and red bumps. It is non-healing lesion. It is around lips, head, ears, neck, arms and hands.

The last type is melanoma as the most deadly type of skin cancer since it could spread to lymph system and also internal organs. It starts from moles that change in color texture, shape and size. The borders are well-defined with pinkish as the signs of skin cancer.
