An estimated 90 percent of all skin cancers in the United States are basal cell carcinoma. Common locations for this type of cancer include the head, face, neck, hands, and arms. The cancer is often removed completely with a biopsy, requiring no further treatment. However, people who have had this particular type of skin cancer have a higher-than-average risk of developing skin cancer again, either this type or a different one.
