Treatment and prevention of skin cancer

Skin Cancer Prevention

Skin cancer can be prevented by avoiding or reducing sun exposure:

In the middle of the day (when the sun shines more perpendicular manner).

Using creams with appropriate protection factor and applying the product as often as necessary. Remember to leaving it for at least 30 minutes, since the effect of sunscreen is usually not immediate.

Using large caps or hats and long-sleeved shirts and long pants when we are outdoors.

Use sunscreen even when you go to do sports outdoors.

Avoiding the use of tanning treatments (UVA, etc.).

If you notice any kind of unusual spots on your body go to your doctor and Realize periodic evaluations to detect abnormalities in the skin. You can use a small mirror to the most difficult areas to see. An early diagnosis can satisfactorily address nine out of ten skin cancers.

Of course it is very important to follow all instructions of the physician, both with regard to prevention, and monitoring and diagnosis of such diseases.
