When Skin Cancer Begins
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
The danger of skin cancer begins with your first exposure to the sun. Because the minute you get into the sun, the radiation that can cause skin cancer starts doing its damage.
And the harmful effects don't fade away at the end of the summer like your tan. They accumulate year after year.
Until one year you could develop skin cancer. Which can be disfiguring. And even fatal.
Fortunately, skin cancer can almost always be cured. Provided it is detected and treated in time.
Better yet, most skin cancer can be prevented. Doctors advise reducing the amount of time you spend in the sun, using an effective sun screen and wearing protective clothing.
