Skin Cancer Prevention
By Dr. R. Jarial | April 7, 2009
Hello……….
Hopefully the snow is melting everywhere…..probably faster in some areas of the country. Spring and summer fever are fast approaching. Parkas are being put away in preparation for shorts, T- shirts, and flip-flops.
With the sun coming out and summer approaching, the buzz is to go out in the sun and catch some rays. With that said, skin protection is vital to prevent skin cancers from forming.
Skin cancers show no preference to age or race. For purposes of protection, a sunscreen with a high sun protective factor (or SPF) should be applied to sun exposed areas of skin. Also, things such as sunglasses and brim hats also offer protection
Unfortunately, too many people do not protect themselves from the sun. Whether it is on the beach or in a garden, the underlying process of skin cancer development is the same. There is a direct correlation between sun exposure and skin cancer development.
With simple measures, skin cancer development can be stopped. A little prevention today can prevent a lot of problems in the future.
