Explanation:

Skin cancer is very common now a days as the exposure to UV rays has been increasing. The skin cancer takes place only when the body or skin specifically comes in contact with the harmful ways of UV found in the sunlight.

It can be defined as the abnormal growth of the skin cells.This cancer can also take place in the skin which is not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. These can be melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma.
