Should 'skin cancer' be called 'hair folicle cancer' instead?

I'm wondering if people get 'skin graft cancer' and if not, why not? From what I know hair does not grow on a skin graft. Not sure why. So I am wondering if skin cancer is actually cancer of the hair folicle.

no skin cancer has nothing at all to do with hair follicles infact if a mole is srouting hairs its very unlikly to be cancerous

no, because hair can't get cancer. skin does.
Reply:No It Should Just Be Called Skin Cancer. That Could Be From Radaion Treatments.
Reply:The skin is comprised basically of 3 things:


1- Epidermis: The superficial part


2- Dermis: The inner most part, mostly comprised of connective tissue (collagen)


3- Appendages: Hair, follicles, sweat glands, vessels, nerves, etc.


Cancer is either an disorganized growth of cells or the proliferation of abnormal ones, or both of these things.


Dermal Cancers are very very rare or almost non-existant, due to the fact that where the mutation and profilition that ought to occur in order to have Cancer (CA) is no where to be found in the dermis or hair for that matter, which is the nucleus of the cell.


Neither the dermis nor hair have nucleated cells, thus no CA there.


The Epidermis has several layers:


- Stratum Corneum


- " Lucidum


- " Granulosum


- " Spinosum


- " Basalis


And within these layers are a group of cells called Melanocytes which produce a pigment called Melanin that gives the color to everyone's skin.


There are 3 main types of skin CA:


1- Melanoma: Most common cause of death from skin CA


2- Basal Cell CA: Most common overall


3- Squamous Cell CA


They are all related to skin exposure, and may have hereditary factors involved
