New Delhi, December 19 (IANS). Jason Chambers is a big actor of Hollywood. These days he is fighting a battle with skin cancer. Confirmed this through his social media account. Told that he was battling melanoma. Also gave an instruction to his fans. After all, what is melanoma? How can Vitamin D, which comes from the sun which illuminates life and is a boon for bones, become a disaster for life? There is a risk of skin cancer when exposed to strong rays of the sun. The ultraviolet rays of the sun damage the skin, so it is very important to be careful.
According to WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, about 60,000 people will die from melanoma in 2022. In most areas of the world, men are more likely than women to suffer from melanoma.
At the same time, according to a research published in the journal ‘Mechanical Behavior of Biomaterials’, the ultraviolet rays of the sun reach between the cells in the uppermost layer of the skin (stratum corneum) and weaken it. Therefore, due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, the skin becomes victim of sunburn and the risk of skin cancer increases manifold. There are many types of skin cancer. However, three of these – basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma – are the most common.
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer. It usually affects areas of the skin that get a lot of sunlight. Like face and hands.
Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common type of skin cancer. It also often develops on skin exposed to the sun, such as on the face, ears, lips, backs of the hands, arms and legs.
Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It may develop on the skin or in an existing mole. Moles whose size, color or shape change or in which symptoms like pain and itching may appear.
Be it summer or winter, sun radiation damages our skin in every season. According to experts, no matter what the season, one should be alert to protect one’s skin from radiation.
The best way to enjoy the sun safely is to stay in the shade to protect your skin, always cover up, and use sunscreen. As told by Jason Chamber based on his experience.
However, it is not that after applying sunscreen you can spend more time in the sun. But it is perfect for protecting areas of the skin that you can’t cover with clothing or shade.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun can damage skin cells and cause skin cancer.
You can protect your skin by following some simple tips. For this, the first thing to do is to stay in the shade. The sunlight is strongest from 12 am to 3 pm. During this time, spend time in the shade.
Even if you want to sit in the sun while going out or staying at home, cover your body with clothes, wear a cap on your head and wear sunglasses.
Applying sunscreen before going out in the sun can be beneficial. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Apply it carelessly before coming in contact with sunlight.
Anyone can get sunburn due to direct or prolonged exposure to sunlight. Symptoms of sunburn may be different for people of different skin types. In people with dark skin, it may appear as itching and in people with fair skin, sunburn may appear red or even pink.
