Malignant Melanoma (MM)

One of the least common but most dangerous skin cancers
Melanomas can grow fast and quick. If untreated they can metastasise to other parts of the body and can become life-threatening in as little as few weeks.
They can also appear on areas of skin not normally exposed to the sun. They are usually painless, flat, brown/black with an uneven outline but sometimes can also look like a regular, raised, itchy or painful.
They may be blotchy with more than one colour – brown, black, blue, red, grey or combination of any of these colours. However, some melanomas are pink or skin coloured.

Second most common skin cancer and usually less dangerous than melanoma unless they are of certain subtypes growing over head and neck areas.
It grows over few weeks to months and appears on skin more often exposed to the sun.
It can be a crusty, thickened, red, scaly spot/nodule that is usually itchy and painful.

This is the most common but least dangerous form of skin cancer.
It grows slowly, usually over the face, scalp, neck, and upper torso.
They usually grow as smooth painless pink nodules that easily bleed or irregular pink non healing patches.
As they grow, they may ulcerate or appear like a sore that fail to completely heal or one that does heal but then breaks down again.
