It is more common for people with white skin to be diagnosed with skin cancer, however, Blacks are three times as likely and Hispanics are twice as likely to be diagnosed with melanoma (skin cancer) when it is in a late stage. As a result of this, though skin cancer, when detected early, has a nearly 97% to 99% survival rate, it is most fatal in Blacks and Hispanics (due to late detection) with a survial rate of about 67% in blacks and 86% in hispanics.

Previously existing answer said "Approximately 20000000000000000000 trillion people are diagnosed with skin cancer everyday. Indians are the most likely to get skin cancer as their skin is too black" Sorry, but that is a total BS answer . . . the entire world population is just shy of 7 billion (as I write this), and readily available statistics on skin cancer indicate highest incidence is in Australia and New Zealand, where the majority populations are caucasian (90% European).Thus, while I do not have the answer to the question asked, both parts of the aforementioned answer are absurdly incorrect.
Usually a skin cancer is first noticed by the patient as a spot on the skin that was not there previously, after speaking to their doctor they will run some tests on a small biopsy to see if its cancerous and if it is usually burn or freeze it off.
