      There are two forms of skin cancers: melanomas and non-melanomas. They both look different and are treated different too. Non-melanomas skin cancer is more common than any other type of cancer. It grows from skins cells other than the cells that create the brown pigments that give our skin its colour. Initially, they look like small burnt marks. It only occurs on sun exposed area like head and neck. Melanomas cancer, on the other hand, is developed by the same cells that give our skin its colour. This cancer can occur anywhere on the body. They look a little like non melanomas marks but are likely to spread to other parts of the body.

        My husband has a reasonably large area on his left leg that is brownish looking and is rough to the touch . Should he have it looked at?
