Causes of Melanoma
Skin cancer occurs when melanin making skin cells grow out of control forming a large mass of irregular cancer cells. This abnormal growth is due to damage to the DNA of the skin cells. While there is no absolute surety as to what causes the damage it is believe that excess exposure to UV light that comes from tanning beds and the sun is the probable leading cause.
