Skin Cancer
Causes and Risk Factors -
Melanoma
Melanoma is less common than non-melanoma skin cancers like basal
cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, but it is more serious.
The factors that increase a person's chance of getting melanoma
are
-
unusual moles (normally benign clusters of melanocytes)
-
large quantity of ordinary moles (more than 50)
-
white or light-colored (fair) skin, especially with freckles.
