Which of the following is NOT a type of skin cancer?

  1. Basal cell carcinoma

  2. Malignant melanoma

  3. Psoriasis

  4. Squamous cell carcinoma

The correct answer is: Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin, but it is not a type of skin cancer. The other options: Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, and Malignant melanoma are all types of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma and Squamous cell carcinoma are more common and less aggressive types of skin cancer, while Malignant melanoma is a less common but more serious type of skin cancer that can metastasize if not treated promptly.
