06. Do both men and women get skin cancer?

Answer

Yes. Skin cancer can occur in anyone, anywhere on the body. Men tend to develop skin cancer more often on the trunk (the area from the shoulders to the hips) or the head and neck. Women more often develop melanoma on the
extremities (arms and legs).
