A Time to Act with Ancient Wisdom and New Hope

Understanding the Silent Signs of Skin Cancer

Skin cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) grow uncontrollably due to DNA damage—often caused by exposure to harmful UV rays from the sun or tanning beds. This damage leads to mutations, resulting in the formation of malignant tumors.

What Does It Look Like?

Skin cancer can appear differently based on skin tone, body location, and cancer type. It may show as a new growth, a sore that doesn't heal, or changes in a mole. Early detection is crucial—skin checks and timely care can help catch it before it spreads or causes scarring.

Skin Cancer in India: The Big Picture
While skin cancer is less common in India than in Western countries, awareness and reporting are increasing. According to a 2022 report by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR):
Non-melanoma skin cancers (BCC and SCC) make up 1–2% of all cancer cases in India
Incidence is higher in older adults, farmers, and people with prolonged sun exposure
Lack of awareness leads to delayed diagnosis, especially in rural areas
