Skin cancer is evident in this top view of a squamous cell carcinoma on the hairy arm of a Caucasian man. Most often caused by years of exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, it is one of the most common types of skin cancer. Treatment for such hard lumps with scaly tops is usually surgical removal by a dermatologist. Avoiding prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation and the use of sunscreen are recommended ways to prevent skin cancers.
