Malignant 'growth' of tissue made up from cancer cells.
A skin cancer is a malignant ‘growth’ of tissue made up from cancer cells which continue to multiply. Malignant tumours can invade into nearby tissues and cause damage. Although most types of malignant tumour tend to spread (metastasise) to other parts of the body this is more unusual in the case of skin cancer.
The commonest form of skin cancer called a ‘basal cell carcinoma’ (rodent ulcer) are in actual fact very slow-growing, grow locally and almost never spread. In contrast melanoma is the skin cancer that we are more wary of as it does have a pre-disposition to spread.

Hyperhidrosis is a common condition characterised by excessive sweating.
Hyperhidrosis is a common condition characterised by excessive sweating.
Sweating is necessary to control body temperature during exercise and warm/hot conditions and is a normal response to a rise in body temperature or anxiety. Sweating is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system and in about 1% of the population this system becomes overactive and results in sweating, far in excess of what is required to maintain a normal body temperature.
Hyperhidrosis can occur in many areas of the body, more commonly the armpits, palm of hands and soles of feet. It affects both sexes equally, usually occurs on both sides of the body equally and is apparent in all races. This is usually a long term condition but can be managed successfully.
Hyperhidrosis doesn’t pose a significant threat to heath but can be embarrassing, cause distress and have a negative impact on lifestyle.
