Melanoma
goodtoknow says: Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. Around 6 in 10 cases are caused by sun damage although it can also be genetic. It starts as a small dark patch on your skin that forms on a mole or on a normal part of your skin. If you have moles watch out for any changes in size, shape or colour. Melanoma can often be removed, and the cancer cured, with a very simple operation. But it's far better to avoid it by staying out of the sun and using a suncream with a factor of 15 or more.
