Almost all forms of skin cancer can show off lethal effects on the patients. There are numerous instances wherein skin cancer has acted as a silent killer for individuals. People with freckles, fair complexion, exposed to sunrays are prone to get skin cancer. The deadliest form of skin cancer is obviously Malignant Melanoma as it spreads very fast all around the affected region which heightens the risk factor several times. It occurs at the pigment cells that are the melanin under skin.

 Every year around 50,000 people get affected by this disease only in United States. Early detection of this disease is extremely important and often the patients are the first ones to detect it as the symptoms can be observed from outside. Moles with abnormal shapes and colors can also be a sign of skin cancer which takes the shape of this disease over a short span of time. The less deadly form of skin cancer is Basal Cell Carcinoma which spreads at a lower rate over time. The most minor form is Squamous Cell Carcinoma which never spread and can be cured easily. Surgeries and other therapies are available these days which can cure skin cancer completely if diagnosed at the earlier stages.
