A Look At Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer
When damaged cells on the skin begin to grow and divide uncontrollably, cancer of the skin develops. Skin cancer develops in the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis).

Melanoma's Dramatic Increase - Another Reason to Self Tan
Melanoma skin cancer, the most deadly form of cancer of the skin, has increased 50% since the early seventies in women alone. Men have only slightly increased, and then leveled off, meaning there is some other factor that makes women more susceptible to melanomas than men. With the prevalent thought being that factor is indoor tanning and excessive sunlight exposure, self tanning looks like the best option for a safe, natural glow.

Using Skin Cancer Images As A Baseline For Skin Examination
If you know what early warning signs to look for, skin cancer can be detected at an early stage and cured without the use of aggressive treatments which cause severe side effects. Unlike other cancers, skin cancer's earliest warning signs are openly visible on the skin. The advantage of early detection is lost if you don't know what to look for and if you fail to do regular skin examinations or consult a doctor if you find any irregularities.
