This
Skin Cancer Online Guide has allowed you to see photographs
and learn about the most common skin cancers and precancers.
The take home message is simple: Prevent yourself from
getting skin cancer by being "sun smart", and if you have
a changing mole or non-healing scab, get it checked by a
doctor ASAP (as soon as possible). All skin cancers are
curable if caught before they spread. Once they have spread,
treatment is much more difficult and usually includes surgery,
chemotherapy and radiation treatment.
