Skin cancer is often triggered by radiation, and noses stick out and so, they are exposed to more radiation. There are several common types and most are treatable and there is life after cancer.
The nose is the area of your face that protrudes the most, therefore, it gets the most sun exposure which has been known to cause skin cancer. It's also the area not covered by scarves or hair adding to the exposure risk.
The nose and tops of the ears are common sites for skin cancer, which is caused by sun damage. Because the nose projects off the face, it is often the site of more sun damage than the other parts of the face.
Yes, the nose (and the face in general, plus the scalp for balding men) is one of the most common locations for skin cancer to form, thanks to its relatively high exposure to the sun.
