Skin Cancer, Skin Tones and Sun Exposure

Among the first and easiest things that you are able to do to reduce your chance of skin cancers is to protect your skin from the UV rays of the sun. But first you need to understand the facts about sun exposure. First, exposure to these rays can occur even on cloudy days. Second, UV rays can penetrate clothing, especially clothes that are light-colored and made of lightweight fabric – like the type of clothing that is typically worn in warmer weather when the sun’s rays are brightest. Finally, dangerous UV exposure can also occur when sunlight reflects off of the snow or shines through glass windows, like in your car.

Some people think that if they head to a tanning salon to catch that golden glow, they're somehow safer from the risks of skin cancer. Not so. The lights in the tanning booths emit the equivalent type of UV rays that the sun does. This means that use of tanning booths can indeed increase your risk of skin cancer. In fact, spending time at these tanning salons before the age of 35 can increase your chances of being diagnosed with this type of cancer by as much as 75%. This statistic alone should be a good reason to greatly limit the amount of time you spend under tanning lights, or make you bid farewell to tanning salons completely.

It is also a common belief that people with darker skin tones cannot get skin cancer. While it is absolutely true that having fair skin can greatly increase your risk for this disease, darker skin tones can have problems also. The big problem arises when people with these skin tones do not bother to protect their skin from the sun’s rays or head to their doctor for early skin cancer screenings. The later skin cancer is detected, the harder it is to treat, meaning that people with these skin tones may not get cancer as often, but when they do it is usually found in the more advanced stages.

While skin cancers can be a scary diagnosis, you cna bring down your risk. Reducing your sun exposure is a effective opening move. You should also go in for annual skin screenings with your doctor, since early detection is a key in an effective treatment plan. Skin cancers happen, but you are able to take steps to keep your skin safer.
