Facial Skin Cancer

Facial Skin Cancer can erupt anytime when the signs and symptoms appear like ordinary moles. If left untreated, it can lead to further damage on the skin and leave permanent scars thereon. The American Academy of Dermatology has identified over 1 million of facial cancer cases prevalent till date. Basically, facial skin cancer occurs due to overexposure to the sun, and the ultraviolet rays of the sun releases radiation in three varied wavelengths – UVA, UVB and UVC. Both UVA and UVB do excessive damage to the facial skin cells, owing to their radiation that activates malignant (cancerous) genes known as oncogenes. Some causes could also be hereditary, or overexposure to toxic chemicals.
