Melanoma

Melanoma is a type of cancer that develops from melanocytes, the pigment cells of the skin. Melanomas commonly occur in the skin, but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines or eye. In the case of women, melanomas commonly occur on the legs, while in the case of men they are most common on the back. Most commonly they develop from a mole with remarkable changes like increase in size, irregular edges, and change in color, itchiness, or skin breakdown. Due to DNA damage form, Ultraviolet light (UV) exposure is the primary cause of melanoma; it may be from either the sun or from other sources, such as tanning devices. Genetic factors also play one of the major causes of melanoma.
