Which term describes the most dangerous type of skin growth?

Basal cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma
Actinic keratosis
Melanoma

The correct answer is: Melanoma

Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin growth because it is a form of skin cancer that starts in the cells that produce skin pigmentation. It has a higher chance of spreading to other parts of the body and can be fatal if not caught and treated early. The other options listed- basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and actinic keratosis- are also types of skin cancer but have a lower likelihood of spreading and are typically more treatable. However, all types of skin cancer should be taken seriously and treated promptly by a medical professional.
