Yes, age and gender can affect your risk of getting basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or other non-melanoma skin cancers. People over 50 are more likely to develop BCC because skin changes and sun exposure build up over time.

Men are more likely to get squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) than women, but more women are being diagnosed these days, probably due to sun exposure and lifestyle factors.

Remember, anyone can get skin cancer, no matter their age or gender. With DermPro, you can track your spots, check for changes, and get an instant risk assessment to stay safe and catch problems early.
