How To Prevent Skin Cancer And Its Causes
What is the cause of skin cancer and how can I prevent it?
I think the most important issue with skin cancer is prevention. Skin cancer happens as a result of an excessive amount of ultraviolet radiation on the skin. I think what people have to understand is that ultraviolet radiation is a cumulative problem. You have been exposed to it as a child, you've been exposed to in your younger days, and you will continue to be exposed to it as you get older. You accumulate a certain dosage of ultraviolet radiation. It stays in the skin, and it's that total dosage that you have received throughout your life that makes you at risk of developing skin cancer. Preventing the ultraviolet radiation is so extremely important, particularly in the sunny parts of the world, and I always say that you need to use a sun protection factor of at least 40 in order to have effective prevention from skin cancer.
