Recognizing white skin cancer: rarely fatal, but not without danger - pay attention to certain symptoms. Every year around 260,000 people in Germany are diagnosed with white or light skin cancer.

The disease can develop particularly on the face, typically the forehead, as well as on the neck, ears, hands, chest or torso. Despite a favorable prognosis, anyone who has been diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer has a greater risk of developing it again - like Mirja du Mont, who made her skin cancer public.
