Linda’s skin lesion could be a sign of skin cancers like melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancer - basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma

Explanation:

Basal and squamous cell carcinoma mostly occurs in areas of the body exposed to the sun like that of ears, nose, face etc. Cancer can be in the form of skin nodules, ulcers, bumps, scaly skin patches, crusty or smooth lesions, etc. Melanoma cancer appears as a pigmented version of skin cancer.

To make an educated diagnosis of skin cancer, the first step is to apply the ABCD physical examination based on the asymmetry, border, color, and diameter of the lesion.

Further confirmation of the skin cancer is done by performing a biopsy and examining a sample of the skin to be tested.
