What is the actual cause of skin cancer?

Skin cancer is one of the most terrible diseases that could happen to anyone. As much as in modern medicine learns to identify the major causes of skin cancer which consist of certain activities at risk. Many people seem more concerned with how to protect and stay away from the disease. However, it is likely that except for the person who may have a genetic disease skin cancer, the disease manifests itself more to those who work or live in the environment, which has a greater chance of skin cancer . This time the reasons for living or working in the environment, such must be very careful and aware of these sons and also to find ways of effective protection. You can find the following information useful in terms of identifying the major cause of skin cancer, and whether you are in such an environment and to prepare in case you found that you are in early stage of the disease.

We will take a look at the first condition that usually (and most of the time) is the leading cause of skin cancer, sunlight. According to the fact that sunlight is extremely beneficial for human health and the human body can not function without sunlight functionally. Because sunlight has Ultra Violet radiation, which is really necessary for the human body to generate significant glucose and hemoglobin. At the same time, the ultraviolet radiation is also the leading cause of skin cancer if there exceed the amount that the person taking it. For example, given the person who has to work in the state as a golf caddy, these people is obviously facing a very strong sunlight all the time. Some people in this category of jobs can try to protect themselves by wearing cloth which prevent the skin to have direct contact with sunlight, but in fact, still radiate ultraviolet radiation to the skin, even though it is not a direct contact. The only way of protection is to wear a thick cloth to prevent radiation or using UV lotion applied to the skin.

When talking about irradiation, the other condition which may risk of skin cancer and early entry into my mind belongs to the person who work in a hospital X-ray room. Yes, it is one of the conditions of risk of skin cancer. At the same that UV radiation from sunlight, x-ray contain some radioactive substances that the impact of human skin and cause cancer if the person has direct contact too often.

Another condition that the risk of cancer of the skin, apart from these two major factors is to have direct contact with a certain type of chemicals such as hydrocarbons and arsenic. It can be seen these days as many of this type that we use in everyday life contains these types of chemicals. In some cases, for many women who have to use excessive cosmetics on daily basis could also be a risk of skin cancer.

Symptoms of skin cancer - How do you know if you are vulnerable?

Sun exposure has been linked for several years with skin cancer. More people are diagnosed with this cancer than any other. Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms of skin cancer, in order to protect yourself and those you love.

Skin cancer often appears as a growth on the surface of the skin. Moles or trademarks that have been present since birth are rarely cancerous. Changes in the appearance of moles or marks, however, may be a sign of malignancy, and should be evaluated by a doctor.

Sometimes skin cancer looks like a pimple or sore that does not heal. These areas may bleed, or infiltrate clear liquid. They may develop scabs, appearing as if they are beginning to heal, but then begin to bleed or infiltrate again.

Different skin cancers develop in different parts of the body. Basal cell carcinoma usually appear on surfaces of skin frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck or upper back, and sometimes the hands or arms. They often seep fluid yellowish scab over and over again to ooze. When the skin is pulled tight, basal cell cancers are often grey in color. Sometimes tiny blood vessels can be seen in tumors.

In comparison, squamous cell carcinomas are more likely than basal cell cancers to appear on the backs of the arms or hands, but often found on the face, neck or upper back. They also appear painful reddish, scaly growths. They also infiltrate or bleed, scab over, and drain again.

Malignant melanoma, the most dangerous type, usually appears on the trunk or legs. These may appear as changes in moles or freckles, or may begin to grow spontaneously from a part of the skin that appears perfectly normal. These are often multi-colored, and can be brown, black, white, red or blue.

Rarely, people can develop other types of skin cancers. Kaposi sarcoma is found among people with weakened immune systems, such as people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or those who have had organ transplants. These are painful spots that appear on the skin and can spread to the lungs or the digestive organs.

People with a high risk of skin cancer, such as those who are frequently exposed to sunlight or individuals with a family member who had the cancer should consider reviewing their skin often. Skin cancer is usually very curable if it is found and treated early. Being aware of the symptoms of skin cancer and examination of your skin often will allow you to get medical treatment early, and can save your life.
