Unlike melanoma, the skin cancer that American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett recently died of, is rare.It’s also aggressive: Merkel cell carcinoma, like melanoma, can spread to the lymph nodes, but often more quickly, says skin cancer expert Dr Vernon Sondak.“When you go to the dermatologist, they’re looking for some very characteristic signs of skin cancer, like basil and squamous cell carcinoma; they’re looking for the ABCDs of melanoma,” says H.

So Dr Sondak’s advice is not to wait for an annual dermatology visit if something odd appears on your skin.It tends to attack older people who’ve spent time in the sun or have weakened immune systems, perhaps due to a bout with another cancer.For instance, treatments against melanoma also work against Merkel.But once seemingly vanquished, Merkel can unfortunately reappear, Dr Sondak says., had been battling the disease for four years before succumbing to it at the age of 76.
