ELI5 mode

Skin cancer is a malignant condition where abnormal cells in the skin grow uncontrollably, often due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning beds. It's the most prevalent form of cancer globally, with types like melanoma being aggressive and others like basal cell carcinoma generally treatable if caught early, underscoring the need for regular skin checks in our sun-soaked modern lifestyles.
