honey thats over my head , I just wanted too say may god bless him , and keep him safe ,
squamous cell


basal cell


malignant melanoma





Treatment for all is usually excision.


Sometimes radiation is used on basal cell.


Prognosis is worst for malignant melanoma and depends on diameter and depth.


Prognosis is best for basal cell, the most common type.





Ultraviolet from the sun is felt to be the greatest factor in causing all 3 types.
