Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer in the world. It grows slowly and rarely spreads, but it must be treated. It will not go away on its own and can cause significant local damage if ignored.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer. Unlike basal cell carcinoma, SCC can spread to lymph nodes and other organs if not treated. Making early diagnosis and proper treatment especially important.
