Cutaneous neoplasms

Cutaneous neoplasms are abnormal growths or tumors that develop in the skin. These can be benign (non-cancerous) like moles or cysts, or malignant (cancerous) such as skin cancers like melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. They result from uncontrolled division of skin cells and can vary in appearance, size, and shape. Detecting skin neoplasms early is important for effective treatment. Factors like sun exposure, genetics, and skin type influence their development. Regular skin checks help identify new or changing growths that may require medical evaluation.
