Skin cancer�is the abnormal growth of cells in the skin. It is the most common type of cancer.

Melanoma�is a kind of skin cancer. It is not as common as other types of skin cancer, but it is the most serious. Melanoma can affect your skin only, or it may spread to your organs and bones. It is almost always cured when it is found early and treated

Causes

Use of tanning beds or sunlamps and too much sun exposure are main causes of skin cancer.

Symptoms

The main sign of melanoma is a change in a mole or other skin growth, such as a birthmark. Melanoma looks like a flat, brown or black mole that has uneven edges.

Diagnoses

The doctor will check your skin to look for melanoma. If the doctor thinks you have melanoma, a sample of tissue from the area around the melanoma will be removed. A pathologist will look at the tissue to check for cancer cells.

If your biopsy shows melanoma, one may need to have more tests to find out if it has spread to other areas.

Treatment

The most common treatment is surgery to remove the�melanoma. That is all the treatment that you may need for early-stage melanomas that have not spread to other parts of your body.

Depending on where the melanoma is on your body, and how thick it is, the surgery to remove it may leave a scar. You might need another surgery to repair this scar.
