Whether a person has the pale skin of a princess or the golden glow of a goddess, skin cancer is still a risk. Get the facts on how to reduce the risk of developing this disease with Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “10 Things You Need to Know About Preventing Skin Cancer.”
1. No tanning beds — ever. Despite misleading claims by the tanning industry that promote tanning beds as a healthy alternative to increase the body’s level of vitamin D, experts agree that tanning is never safe — no matter what. A 2008 study from the University of New Mexico Cancer Research and Treatment Center revealed that tanning beds are not safer than the sun. It also concluded that tanning beds may have separate risks that elevate the chances for skin cancer that are not yet understood.
2. Get screened. Even though skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer, it’s also the most preventable. The best prevention plan includes both professional and at-home screening practices. Schedule a skin exam at least once a year with a dermatologist or family physician. At the appointment, the doctor will examine the patient’s skin thoroughly for unusual moles or markings.
It’s also smart to do a self-exam once a month. When performing a self-exam, examine the body from head to toe for the following signs:
New markings including moles, blemishes, patches of discoloration and bumps
Moles that have changed in appearance — including size, symmetry, texture, color or shape
Moles or lesions that bleed
3. Everyone’s at risk. Most people associate the typical skin cancer candidate with blond hair, blue eyes and freckles. While these characteristics do fit an individual who has an elevated risk for developing skin cancer, it’s important to understand that everyone is susceptible to skin cancer — including people with darker complexions.
And, although the risk of developing skin cancer isn't as high for those with naturally dark skin, these individuals are especially at risk for melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. In fact, a recent study reports that the incidence of melanoma is on the rise among Latinos.
