Common Types Of Skin Cancer In Men

Kaposi's Sarcoma

Kaposi's sarcoma is triggered because of a form of the herpes virus. The men who're most at risk for this type of skin cancer? The ones who've got HIV. Men taking meds to suppress their immune system are at risk too. This includes those who've gotten an organ transplant. It does come with a huge warning sign of skin lesions, but unfortunately, these aren't always spotted! When they are, they'll be red or purple skin patches. The lesions spread very, very quickly, so watch out! Treatment is intense, so men, be prepared for chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy! Antivirals are so, so common here too. Surgery as well.
