During the last years the number of cases of skin cancer has drastically risen. The reasons are due to multiple factors:
- Outdoor activities on the increase
- Higher UVR exposure (Solarium)
- Beauty ideals-brown/tanned skin
- Higher UVR exposure due to the depletion of the Ozone layer
- Other environmental factors
Types of skin cancers and their precancerous lesions:
The lesions descibed above are particularly taken into consideration during the skin evaluation. Early detection of the lesions leads to early treatment.
So do take time to examine your skin and ask for your partners or friends help when examining the back and head. If you discover a suspicious lesion go promptly to your dermatologist.
Early skin cancer detection check ups are worthwhile in the long run. You are worth it so don't hesitate and act fast!
