Can skin cancer occur anywhere on the skin?
While skin cancer can certainly show up just about anywhere, it is typically only seen in areas where you have received quite a bit of Sun damage. Skin cancer is most common among light skinned people who also have a lot of freckles. Dermatologists will tell you that your skin can only absorb a pre-determined amount of sun before you will start to have problems. Arms, face, nose, top of the ears are all common places for skin cancer, because we receive more Sun exposure there. And "fake bake" booths are even worse, since they often give a higher UV exposure. High SPF rated Sun block can reduce your risk to skin cancer if you need to be outside quite a bit.

How do skin cancer treatment works?
There are many ways to treat skin cancer. Radiation is one of them, in radiation therapy high-energy rays are used to damage the cancer cells and stop them from growing. Chemotherapy is another way to treat skin cancer and it us the use of anticancer drugs as a cream or lotion applied to the skin. Topical Chemotherapy is useful for cancers on to the top layer of the skin and it usually leaves no scars. Cryosurgery is extreme cold that is used to treat precancerous skin conditions, while Mohs' surgery is a technique that removes all of the cancerous tissue and as little of the healthy tissue as possible. This method is used to remove large tumors in those hard-to-treat places. Curettage is a commonly used method of surgery, in curettage the cancer is cut out with a curette and then it is treated by electrodesiccation. Electrodesiccation is an electric current from a special machine used to control bleeding and kill any cancer cells that remain.

What is the nature of skin cancer?
Most commonly, you get skin cancer from being overexposed to the sun, either over a period of many years, or from a few bad sunburns, especially sunburns as a child. You might also get skin cancer from exposure to other forms of radiation and some chemicals, but that's not typical. There are risk factors that increase your changes of getting skin cancer, such as a family history of it, and light-colored eyes, hair, and/or skin. You can also get skin cancer by using tanning beds. Of course they don't want you to know this so that they (tanning beds companies) can stay in business. However, if there is any dirt or too much lotion on your body it interferes with the rays causing them to penetrate deeper under your skin than originally intended. I did not believe this until it happened to me. Love your natural skin color!!
Why doesn't skin cancer arise from the stratum corneum?
Skin cancer doesn't arise from the stratum corneum because that layer of the epidermis is composed mainly of dead cells that do not have a blood supply for cancer cells to use. Foremost the Stratum Corneum is the top layer of the Epidermis, a cutaneous membrane. It is to be noted that the Stratum Corneum consists of 25-30 layers of non-dividing or dead cells. Therefore this environment does not accomodate the malignant cancer cells that depend on a living healthy area in which to chronically divide.
