The Most Common Types Of Cancers That Affect Men

Skin Cancer

Moles or growths on the skin are the main things that patients should look out for when it comes to this increasingly common type of cancer. Common types of skin lesions to look for include small, scaly patches called actinic keratosis, scaly patches or roughness of the skin on the lip known as ‘farmer’s lip,’ cutaneous horns, or moles that change color, texture, and size. False alarms can occur, but individuals should remain vigilant and aware of any skin changes that occur and the appearance of any new moles. If a male patient has very fair skin or has been exposed to quite a bit of sun over the years, then they should be cautious about the signs and check their skin frequently.
