abstract = {Skin cancer is one of the most frequent types of cancer in the world. Malignant skin cancers can become life-threatening if not treated in an early stage. Some skin cancers like Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC), Melanoma (MEL), and Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) are always malignant and can cause fatal damage to the skin.
