Default How do you prevent skin cancer?

Hello Friends......

Wear sun screen: SPF 15 or higher. Wearing hats and long-sleeves also helps.

You can't go back and change the fact that you didn't wear sunscreen as a kid, but you can prevent making it worse.

You can also limit the time you spend in the sun and to keep applying the sun-screen every hour.
Staying out of the sun or using sun block

Thanks

Avoiding sun exposure especially at noon is the best way to avoid skin cancer. And wearing sunscreen when going out is also a big help.

* Limit your time in bright sunlight.
* Take advantage of whatever shade is available when you're outside.
* Wear cool clothing that covers as much of your body as possible when you're outside. Apply protective sunblock with a skin protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to the parts of your skin that can't be covered by clothes. This is very important if you're going to be near the water or snow.
* Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and eyelids.
* Wear lipstick or balm with sunblock to protect your lips.
* If your skin is starting to redden from too much sun, go indoors as soon as possible.
* Don't use tanning booths.
* Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using any skin lotions that contain tar.
* Avoid exposure to chemicals that contain organic arsenic, such as pesticides and herbicides (poison to kill bugs and weeds). Not all of these poisons contain arsenic, but some do.

* Avoid the sun, especially from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest.
* Don't use tanning booths or sunlamps.
* Wear protective clothing and a hat whenever you go outside. Remember that you are often exposed to the sun while driving, especially your hands and arms.
* Wear sunglasses that wrap and are rated to block at least 99% of UVA sunlight.
* Check your skin every month for signs of skin cancer. (See how to check your skin below.)
* If you see an area on your skin that looks unusual, ask your family doctor about it.

If we limit the time that we spend in the sun so we can reduce the risk.
