Male Skin More Sensitive to the Sun

It is known that men are more sensitive to accepting skin cancer than women. Males are twice as sick with skin cancer as opposed to women”, say researchers from Ohio State University, broadcast Telegragraphy.

Why?

Researchers usually estimate that this is because men are more inclined to do work outside than women, and that they are less careful to protect their skin with some form of shade, shirt, or hat.

To test this theory, the research team has displayed a hairless mouse in ultraviolet rays issued by the radiant lamp. The mouse has been subjected to a radiation session three times a week from 8 to 10 minutes for six months. That was enough to bring both women and male skin cancer.

We found that the males suffered skin tumors earlier, more in quantity, and most of the tumor was heavy”, Oeryszyn said.

The most sensitive male skin?

What really happens? The testing of male and female mouse skin has highlighted surprising discoveries. Male skin cells have carried less antioxidants than female skin cells.

Our skin is exposed to both bodily and environmental stimuli at all times”, researchers say. “The immune system takes care of our health. But the immune system can survive sometimes. The body suffers one on the production of oxidizing jets and antioxidants protect from this”.

Researchers are already analyzing people's skin to see if everything is the same as rats.

We think that male skin is simply more sensitive. Maybe men need something that will equip them with more antioxidants maybe food, maybe body cream. Besides sun protection, men will have to care more than women. This is not cosmetic, but a health problem”.

Some researchers believe, however, that despite the differences between the skin of the two genders, the real reason for the greater number of skin cancer cases in males is that they are most exposed to ultraviolet light that is stimulating cancer.
