The effects of skin cancer can vary. __**Basal cell carcinoma**__ is the most common form of the three skin cancers. It will often look like a red or brown mark on your skin. It usually doesn't spread and is the most unharmful type of skin cancer. It can appear anywhere on the body but mainly on areas that are directly exposed to the sunlight. __**Squamous cell carcinoma**__ is another form of skin cancer that is normally found on parts of the body that are exposed to sunlight. Again, it does not always spread from the original location but is more likely to spread than basal cell. If it does spread it will normally only spread to surrounding cells.If it is on the surface of the skin, you will notice a redish-brownish mark that grows overtime. **__Melanoma__** is the third and most dangerous type of skin cancer. Fortunately also the rarest type of skin cnacer. They can appear anywhere on the body and are not uncommon in parts of the body that are not normally exposed to the sun for example, the feet. They could take the form of a brown spot that gets larger or a lump under the skin. Not a pleasure to have.
