Abnormal growth of cells in the epidermis layer of the skin can cause skin cancer. This happens when you spend more time in the sun. However, in some cases skin cancer can also occur on those parts of your skin that are not exposed to sunlight.
Skin cancer develops mainly on parts exposed to the sun. This includes the head, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, and hands. Women can also have it in their feet. It can also occur on parts that are rarely exposed to sunlight. Such as under your palms, fingernails, toes, and may also occur on the underside of your genitalia.
Skin cancer can occur in people of any skin tone. It also includes darker people. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, occurs in people with darker skin.
