The other day, I was taken by the hair color of a clerk at the local store. I commented on how beautiful it was, with the dark base and the natural-looking streaks, as if the sun had touched her alone; and we started a conversation of how when we were younger we would not have to use any hair color dyes: we just sprayed Sun-In on our hair and laid out in the sun for an hour or 2. This of course led us to discussing the near impossibility of doing that now, as we have blasted the ozone layer so much we have created a direct line between us and the harsher (more deadly) rays of the sun (and no, Sun-In is an air pump spray, not an aerosol, so we didn't have to go there with culpability and irony and all).

But you probably didn't come here to read about hair color methods that are sun-free or chemical free, for that matter - at least not especially. You came searching for info on the different kinds of skin cancer. The speculation and theory does hold some evidence against chemical substances in health and beauty products; and it does point to the sun's "harmful rays" as a possible cause, and so on., but here, since we are not medical pros, professional, or specialists, the factual information on the types of skin melanoma is going to be basic and absent of finger-pointing, if you'll:

There are 3 kinds of skin melanoma: Basal Cell Carcinoma (AKA non-cancer skin cancer); Squamous Cell Carcinoma; and Cancer.

Cancer (also, Cutaneous Cancer, Malignant Melanoma) - Cancerous cells are growing in the melanocytes, the cells that are responsible for skin pigmentation. According to University of Maryland medication and other specialists, of all the kinds of skin cancer, Cancer is "the most virulent and the rarest." It's typically found in people with light skin, light hair, and/or light eyes, though it's possible in others with different complexions, and as the specialists above also assert, does not exempt those with dark brown or black skin. Identifiable symptoms include, most frequently, a mole changing color, size, shape, or state (starts oozing or bleeding), or a mole that UMM notes "feels itchy, hard, lumpy, swollen, or tender to the touch." Much like breast cancer symptoms will make themselves known with a lump in the breast, lumps can also herald cancer.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Also called non-melanoma skin cancer, Squamous Cell Carcinoma generally begins as a red-looking, scaly patch or patches of skin, or can appear as nodules. Again, like breast cancer symptoms, which on occasion manifest themselves in the texture of skin. Of the 3 kinds of skin cancer, Squamous, affecting Caucasians, generally fair-complected, is the second most common and shows up, normally, on the ears (ear-rims), face, lips and mouth.

Basal Cell Carcinoma - The last of the kinds of skin cancer, Basal Cell Melanoma, typically starts as a "small, fleshy bump or nodule," most frequently found on the head, neck, and/or hands. Of the 3 types of skin melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma, which is typically found in Caucasians, say those at UMM, make up "more than 90 percent in the U.S."

My mom had the second most common of the kinds of skin cancer, on her lip, and while we at first teased her that it was herpes, she was smart enough to see it was a "sun blister" and quick enough to catch it by going to a professional. Like women who save their lives by going to the healthcare professional as soon as they notice a lump or other breast cancer symptoms, catching skin cancer early can mean the difference between life and death. That's the good news, to give you hope when you bemoan the loss of days picnicking, swimming, and "bathing" under the wonderful sun.
