Yes: There are several different types of skin cancers. The main three are squamous, cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Squamous cell the skin begins as a small nodule and as it enlarges the center becomes necrotic and sloughs and the nodule turns into an ulcer. Basal cell patients present with a shiny, pearly nodule. Melanoma patients have an irregularly appearing pigmented lesion.
