Actinic keratosis (AK)
Actinic Keratosis (AK), also known as solar keratosis or senile keratosis, is a precancerous condition that occurs when skin cells become damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. It primarily affects the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and can lead to the development of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) if left untreated. AK is one of the most common precursors to skin cancer, and although it is typically benign, it requires careful monitoring and management.

Keratoacanthoma
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a benign but often rapidly growing skin tumor that resembles squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It is typically considered a low-grade, well-differentiated form of SCC. Although it generally has a good prognosis and may resolve on its own, keratoacanthomas can be challenging to distinguish from squamous cell carcinomas, which can be malignant.

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer. It originates in the basal cells, which are located in the lowest layer of the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin). BCC is typically slow-growing, locally invasive, and rarely metastasizes (spreads to other parts of the body), but it can cause significant local damage if left untreated. While it is generally not considered life-threatening, early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent complications.

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is a type of skin cancer that begins in the squamous cells, which are the flat, scale-like cells found in the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis). SCC is the second most common type of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma. While it is generally less aggressive than melanoma, SCC can still be dangerous, particularly if left untreated, as it has the potential to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.

Melanoma
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops from melanocytes, the cells in the skin that produce melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. Melanoma is one of the most serious types of skin cancer due to its ability to spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, making early detection and treatment crucial.
