Main Reasons for Skin Cancer
Ultraviolet (UV) rays: Exposure to harmful UV rays from the sun changes the DNA in skin cells and causes cancer. People who work in the sun for a long time are more likely to develop this.
Sunburn: If you have had severe sunburns on your skin in the past, you are more likely to develop cancer later.

Light-colored skin: People with fair skin who have less melanin (the pigment that gives color to their skin) are more likely to develop cancer due to less protection from UV rays.
Tanning Beds: Tanning beds used to artificially tan the skin expose it to high concentrations of UV rays.
Genetic factors: If someone in your family has had skin cancer, it is likely to be inherited.
Changes in Moles: Sudden changes in the size, color, and shape of moles on the body can be a sign of cancer.
Exposure to chemicals: Long-term exposure to certain toxins or chemicals, such as arsenic, can cause skin cancer.

Decreased immune system: People with weakened immune systems after treatments such as organ transplants are at higher risk of skin cancer.
