Basal cell skin cancer begins in the basal cell layer of the skin. It usually occurs in places that have been in the sun. For example, the face is the most common place to find basal cell skin cancer. Whereas melanoma begins in melanocytes and can be found anywhere on the body. In people with fair skin, basal cell skin cancer is the most common type of skin cancer. Melanoma is also common in people with fair skin, but can be found in those with dark skin, especially under nails, or on palms of hands or soles of feet. cancer.gov/cancertopics/wyntk/skin/page4
