Skin cancer is an effect of both heredity and
environmental causes (ex. UV rays/parents)
Skin cancer forms tumors under the skin. These
tumors have a chance to be malignant.
Human skin is technically
the body’s largest organ and
protects all other organs. It’s
also possible this’ll harm other
body parts can be harmed.
The first two stages of skin cancer are when the
cancer is localized to only one area of the body and
can be removed with surgery before it spreads.
The third and final stage of skin cancer are when the
cancer is not treated when found and is left alone to
where it spreads to numerous part of the body also very
possibly harming other organs of the body. Also it will
harder to remove the sin cancer tumors if the surgery is
even possible at all!
In most cases of skin cancer, signs can be as simple
as a mole or growth on the skin.
Most times these small moles or growths are
harmless but sometimes they can be the early signs
of certain types of harmful skin cancer.
These moles or growths can usually be removed by
surgery if found to be harmful or a threat to your
health.
The most common and most effective method for
removing skin cancer, although sometimes
expensive, is through surgery.
This method is traditionally done when the cancer
is in the stages one or two because when the cancer
reaches the stages of three and four, the surgery can
have negative consequences.
As of right now, sadly, there is not a cure for any
form of skin cancer.
There are people around the world(Scientists)
working on a cure for skin cancer.
There are several ways to prevent getting this
cancer.

times of day where it is strongest.
Use sunblock if you go outside.
Wear a hat or other protection when going
outside.
Get regular checkups from your doctor to see if
