The skin is the largest organ and serves as a barrier to protect the internal organs, as well as the bones and muscles underneath it. When the skin deteriorates, the whole body is affected. Skin cancer is surprisingly common since the skin is so easily damaged by UV rays and other kinds of environmental pollutants. It seems that the two most common forms of skin cancer are benign melanoma and malignant melanoma. Malignant moles are significantly more harmful than benign moles and create bleeding blisters on the skin. They get their name because they resemble the more deadly melanocyte cells. Over 700,000 skin lesions are found annually in the United States, reports the American Cancer Society
