Melanoma
sun warms us and gives us life. Moreover, when the warm weather approaches and days get longer, you can even make us feel more optimistic and improve our mood. Yet this same sun can also kill us. We talk about melanoma, a disease that is increasingly impact on the population.
This is because we are not aware of how damaging it can be for our skin too long exposure to sunlight. In this sense, and though no saver can often lacking in our beach bag, the information is essential. Euromelanoma 2008 is to ensure that this is, giving a list of essential points to consider.
although many of the photographs we see in magazines try to convince you otherwise, there is a skin that has no spots. According to Julian Sanchez Conejo-Mir, a dermatologist and president of the Spanish Association of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV), “it is usual to have 20 to 40 moles that may be inborn or that have appeared over time.” “In fact, today the population has more moles than 40 years ago by the increased sun exposure,” says the doctor.
This increased number of moles is more necessary than ever that the habit of watching them expand to the entire population to rule out the possibility of any malignancy. According to the expert, “a mole takes to degenerate years, but, ideally, would be reviewed every three or six months” and, of course, see a dermatologist if we deem necessary. Indeed, an appointment with your doctor is you are looking to get Euromelanoma 2008. That in its ninth edition provides the basis for us to be who deem ourselves whether we are at risk.
although the campaigns have made little by little, we worry about the health of our skin, “skin cancer has not yet been able to prevent or reduce its incidence. Rather, it is expected to increase considerably in the coming years, “says Conejo-Mir.
What qualifies as an epidemic of skin cancer, can be explained by lifestyle, too unconcerned with the sun, but also environmental factors that are currently doing that exposure to sunlight is more damaging than ever . Undoubtedly, a major cause is the ozone depletion and the famous ‘climate change’, according to the doctor, “makes more hours of sun, more heat and therefore grow the incidence of melanoma.”
While skin cancer cases continue to rise among the world’s population, fortunately, has a great healing success rate, reaching 100% if diagnosed in its early stages. The other side of the coin shows that this percentage is drastically reduced if the cancer is advanced. It is therefore very important to know how our skin is supposed to detect dangerous lesions.
In order to prevent, there are some factors we can preset indicate that we are at risk. Family history provide an excuse to let us see more by consulting the dermatologist, but also affects our skin type, because if our skin is very clear and we tend to burn when the sun, the danger is much greater.
But surely what is more threatening is the incidence of the sun, is essential to use some type of sunscreen that suits our skin tone. But, as the doctor, “you buy is not enough, you also have to use it, not just when we go to the beach.” Prevention and information for the diagnosis seems to be the two keys to save many lives. Statistics make no further growth is now more than ever, in our hand.
