Nodular melanoma
Nodular melanoma is an invasive form of melanoma which accounts for roughly one fourth of diagnosed melanomas. It is characterized by being faster developing, meaning it quickly grows downwards into the deeper layers of skin.
Seborrheic Keratosis (Senile warts)
Seborrheic keratosis, also called senile warts, is a very common skin condition marked by light brown, tan brown, dark brown, black and variably pigmented spots. The warts are slightly raised with a clear edge and waxy.
Sunburn and Sun Eczema
Sunburn can turn into sun eczema and skin cancer. When the skin is exposed to the sun for a long time, you get sunburn.
Ulcer
An ulcer is a skin sore that appears red and is filled with pus upon infection. It can be triggered by excessive heat or cold, skin irritation, or problems with blood circulation.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma. About 700,000 new cases of this skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year.
Sun Damaged Skin
Sun damaged skin has uneven levels of melanin, leading to premature skin aging, irregular skin pigmentation and irregular brown spots. Liver spots may also occur later in the life of adults who were overly exposed to the sun.
Malignant Melanoma
Malignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, as it has the potential to spread to other parts of the body. This form of cancer in skin pigment cells is often caused by the sun’s ultraviolet ray.
