PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skin cancer is actually one of the easiest cancers to find. That’s because skin cancer usually begins where you can see it. You can get skin cancer anywhere on your skin-from your scalp to the bottoms of your feet. Even if the area gets little sun, it’s possible for skin cancer to develop there.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Skin cancer-the abnormal growth of skin cells-most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. There are three major types of skin cancer-basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most skin cancers start in the top layer of skin, called the epidermis. There are 3 main types of cells in this layer: Squamous cells: These are flat cells in the upper (outer) part of the epidermis, which are constantly shed as new ones form.
