==Classification==
 
The most common types of skin cancer are [[basal cell carcinoma]] (BCC) and [[squamous cell carcinoma]] (SCC) which may be locally disfiguring but are unlikely to [[metastasize]] (spread to other parts of the body). The most dangerous type of skin cancer is [[malignant melanoma]]. This form of skin cancer can be fatal if not treated early but comprises only a small proportion of all skin cancers.
 
More rare types of skin cancer include:
* [[Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans]]
* [[Merkel cell carcinoma]]
* [[Kaposi's sarcoma]]
