Additional Info

  • incl nevi:
    • Dysplastic nevi, or abnormal moles, are not cancer, but they can become cancer.
      • Dysplastic nevi are usually irregular in shape, with notched or fading borders. Some may be flat or raised, and the surface may be smooth or rough ("pebbly"). They are often large, at a quarter-inch across or larger, and are typically of mixed color, including pink, red, tan, and brown.
  • There are three main types of skin cancers:
    • basal-cell skin cancer (BCC)
      • Basal-cell cancer grows slowly and can damage the tissue around it but is unlikely to spread to distant areas or result in death. It often appears as a painless raised area of skin, that may be shiny with small blood vessel running over it or may present as a raised area with an ulcer.
    • squamous-cell skin cancer (SCC)
      • Squamous-cell skin cancer is more likely to spread. It usually presents as a hard lump with a scaly top but may also form an ulcer.
    • melanoma
      • Melanomas are the most aggressive. Signs include a mole that has changed in size, shape, color, has irregular edges, has more than one color, is itchy or bleeds
  • The first two, along with a number of less common skin cancers, are known as nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC).
