Skin cancer events are increasing nowadays. Experts warn the people who spend their summer holidays on the triangle of sea-sand-sun about the skin cancer. It is obvious that one of the missing sides of the summers is tanned skin. But, experts warn the people who plan to lye under the sun for tanning.
The experts, who express that 1 million people come down with cancer every year in America and 9.800 people die because of this illness, suggest that protective cream should absolutely be used when exposing to sun.
Skin cancer has 3 different type called BCC, SCC and Melanoma. BCC, which is seen in one of the 6 adult, is known as a kind which develops slowly and rarely spreads to the inner organs. The used drugs during its treatment can damage to the appearance permanently. SCC, which occurs as red and crusty, is a kind having chance to spread to the inner organs if it is ignored. This kind of cancer causes 200 thousand deaths of people in America each year.
The most fatal one among the skin cancer kinds is known as melanoma. Approximately %20 of the patients who are diagnosed as melanoma dies each year in America. And this situation shows the dimension of the danger. This cancer kind, which occurs because of the beauty spots on the skin, causes mostly patient’s death without taking precaution because of the fact that it affects the skin’s bottom layer and it can spread easily.
The light colored skinned people is under more danger:
The skin cancer, which is precipitated as a result of overexposing to the ultraviolet rays of the sun, is more dangerous for the light colored skinned people.
Even if the all kind of cancers so not shows the same symptoms, they show themselves with color changes, peeling and inflammations. Then these symptoms turn to the wounds. Melanoma is mostly seen on face, lips, ears, neck, breast, legs and arms which are mostly and vulnerably exposed to sun. But it can rarely be seen on hand palm, genital areas and fingers.
Experts juxtapose the factors, which are seen as simple but cause skin cancer: “light colored skin, sun burns, over sunbathing, living in the areas exposing to over sun lights, beauty spots, skin legions, skin cancer inherited from the family, weak immune system, exposing to environmental disasters”.
For the light colored skinned people pigment cells, I mean the melanin, are more vulnerable against the ultraviolet rays spread by the solarium and the sun. If you are blonde or red haired, have light colored eye, have freckles, your skin tends to be blushed even under a little bit exposure to the sun, you are under more risk than the dark skinned ones.
Sun burns can be determined summarily as a skin reaction against the sun lights. The people, who had once or more sun burn in the childhood or in the adolescence, have more risk to be caught by the cancer in their adulthood.
Overexposure to the sun increases the risk of skin cancer. A tanned skin can show you more attractive and beautiful. However, do not forget that tanning is skin’s reaction against the ultraviolet rays.
