An illustration of melanoma, a type of skin cancer that develops in melanocytes, creating asymmetrical moles with irregular borders and discoloration. Melanocytes produce melanin, the pigment which gives colour to the skin. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can damage melanocyte DNA, causing cells to replicate out of control and even spread to other parts of the body. | |
