Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S.—but it’s also one of the most preventable and treatable when caught early.

The Most Common Types:

• Basal cell carcinoma (BCC): Often appears as a pearly bump or sore that doesn’t heal.
• Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC): May look like a scaly patch, red bump, or wart-like growth.
• Melanoma: The most serious form—can develop in a mole or appear as a new dark spot. Early detection is key.
  

Prevention Tips:

• Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily
• Avoid tanning beds
• Seek shade during peak sun hours
• Get annual skin checks—and self-check monthly
