These cells typically develop and slough off in an orderly fashion, a process controlled by DNA.\u00a0 When the DNA sustains damage, often from the sun, changes occur in the process and new cells can grow out of control, forming a mass of cancer cells. UVA and UVB rays produced by the sun cause the most damage to the skin, but other factors, such as heredity and toxic chemicals, can contribute to the development of skin cancer.<\/p>\n \u00a0Usually skin cancer appears on the areas that receive the most sun exposure, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms, hands and legs, but it can occur in other areas.
