Preventions To Control Skin Cancer By: shantiprasad
Protect body from sunlight:
Wear the right stuff. When you can, wear protective, tightly woven
clothing such as a long-sleeved shirt and pants. If not, wear sunscreen
under your clothing; a standard T-shirt only provides SPF protection of
5 to 8. A wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses are important for protecting the delicate skin on your face and your eyes. Be sure your
sunglasses have UVA and UVB protections, which should filter at least 80percent of the sun’s rays.
Apply lotions:
Apply and reapply sunscreen creams. Protect your body from UVA and UVB rays and has a Sun Protection Factor of at
least 15. SPF measures how long it takes sunscreen-protected skin to
begin to burn, or turn red, as compared to unprotected skin. For
instance, if it takes unprotected skin 10 minutes to burn, then skin
protected with an SPF value of 15 will take 150 minutes, or 2 1/2 hours,
to burn. However, depending on the intensity of the heat, sunburns could occur in a much shorter time. Sunscreen should be reapplied often especially after swimming or sweating - and applied over all exposed areas of the body, including lips and ears, to ensure ongoing
protection.
Avoid Tanning Beds:
If you love the look of tanned skin, find a good
self-tanner not a tanning bed. Artificial UVA rays in tanning booths not
only inflict the same type of skin and eye damage as the sun, but may be
as much as 20 times stronger than natural sunlight.
Head for the shade:
Did you know that if your shadow is shorter than
you are, you’re more likely to get sunburn? This means the sun is
near its zenith, or its highest - and hottest - point of the day. When
your shadow is short, seek the shade or head indoors to better protect
yourself during these intense rays.
Examine your skin
Take a good look at your skin from head-to-toe
monthly. If you see some change in your skin, have it checked
immediately by your doctor. Early detection is important.
Start protective measures early
Children are at risk too. Keep newborns out of the sun. Minimize sun exposure and apply sunscreen to children 6 months and older who are outdoors. Most skin cancers appear after age 50, but skin damage from the sun begins at an early age. Therefore, protection should start in childhood to prevent skin cancer later in life.
