What is the most common type of skin cancer?

  1. Melanoma

  2. Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  3. Basal Cell Carcinoma

  4. Kaposi Sarcoma

The correct answer is: Basal Cell Carcinoma

Basal Cell Carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It typically appears as a waxy bump or a flat, flesh-colored or brown scar-like lesion. Basal Cell Carcinoma is more common in fair-skinned individuals who have had significant sun exposure. Melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that arises from the cells that produce pigment in the skin. It is less common than Basal Cell Carcinoma but is more aggressive and has the potential to spread to other parts of the body. Squamous Cell Carcinoma is another type of skin cancer that usually presents as a red, scaly patch or a raised lump. It is less common than Basal Cell Carcinoma but more likely to spread to other areas of the body if not treated. Kaposi Sarcoma is a cancer that develops from the cells that line lymph or blood vessels. It is most commonly seen in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. It typically presents as lesions on the skin or inside the mouth.
