One of the most common types of cancer is skin cancer. Non-melanoma skin cancer is a group of cancerous cells developing slowly in the skin’s upper layer. The term non-melanoma distinguishes the more common type of skin cancer from melanoma, which is less common but can be more severe.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Non-melanoma symptoms<\/span><\/h2>\n

The first sign of non-melanoma skin cancer is the appearance of a lump or discolored patch on the skin that is visible even after a few weeks and gradually progresses over months or years; those are cancer or tumor. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cancerous lumps often turn red and firm and occasionally become ulcers, but the cancerous patches are often scaly and flat. Non-melanoma skin cancer primarily develops in skin areas regularly exposed to the sun, like the face, hands, ears, upper chest, back, and shoulders. <\/span><\/p>\n

Types of non-melanoma<\/span><\/h2>\n

Non-melanoma cancer often develops in the upper or outermost layer of the skin.
