Melanoma isn't the only skin cancer
Description: You probably know to have your skin checked frequently for the signs of melanoma. But you should also be looking out for another, more common type of skin cancer - squamous cell carcinoma. This potentially lethal skin cancer can show up on your skin as a white or pink bump, a non-healing sore, or even a scaly patch. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, cases of squamous cell carcinoma are on the rise, with some 700,000 new diagnoses each year. [Source: Harvard Medical School]
