What causes skin cancer and what not?

Skin cancer is a common type of cancer, but in most cases it is preventable. Understanding what causes it can help as an important precautionary measure.

What is skin cancer?

When DNA is damaged, it can cause anomalies in cells. As a result, these cells do not die properly. Instead, they continue to grow and divide, creating more and more abnormal cells.

These mutation cells are able to avoid the immune system and eventually spread throughout the body. When this DNA damage starts in skin cells, skin cancer shows up.

Skin cancer types include:

Basic cell carcinoma
Scamosis cell carcinoma
Melanoma

Most skin cancer occurs in basal and scamosis cells and are treatable and treatable species if diagnosed early. melanoma is more serious.

What causes skin cancer?

1. Sun exposure: The number one cause of skin cancer is ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun. You must remember:

80% of sun exposure occurs before you are 18.
Winter exposure is as dangerous as exposure to summer.
Great sunburns before the age of 18 can cause melanoma later.

You can lower exposure to the sun by:

Use sun cream or sun cream with SPF 30, minimum.
I wear cover clothes when you're in the sun.
Stayed in the shade, especially between 10 in the morning until 1500.
You wear a hat when you're outside.

2. Incinerator devices: UV rays can damage the skin no matter where they come from. Incinerators are no safer than being in the sun and do not prepare their skin for dangers.

3. Genetic changes: Genetic mutations can be inherited or acquired throughout life.

4. Less common causes:
) repeated exposure to X-ray or CT scans
Signs due to burns or illness
) exposure to certain chemicals, such as arsenic

What doesn't cause skin cancer:

1. Tatuages: There is no evidence that tattoos cause skin cancer. True, though, tattoos can make early distinctions in skin cancer more difficult. It is better to avoid tattooing on a mole or another place that may be disturbing.

2. Sun cream

3. Cosmetic and skin care products: If you have concerns about a product you are using, check the components and consult a dermatologist.

Who is most threatened by skin cancer?

They have cell skin or wood
Those who have suffered severe burns
Those who have been extravagant in the sun for too long
The mole people, especially the abnormal ones
A family history of skin cancer
People with weak immune systems
Those exposed to arsenic and other chemicals
