Do You Know The Reason For Skin Cancer ???

Skin cancer can be defined as the growth of abnormal skin cells. It is a commonly found type of cancer and is characterised by locally destructive malign or cancerous growth. The cancer generally arises between the deeper layers of the skin and the superficial top layer and later spreads to other layers.

Types of Skin Cancers

• Basal Cell Carcinoma
• Squamous Cell Carcinoma
• Melanoma

Of these, basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of skin cancer found, closely followed by squamous cell carcinoma which occupies a second place in its incidence. Squamous cell carcinoma originates from the skin cells. Melanoma is the most dangerous and life threatening variety and is said to originate from melanocytes, the skin cells that produce pigments.

Causes of Skin Cancer

• Over exposure to sun light

Over exposure to sunlight increase the exposure to ultra violet rays that are known to be a major contributor to skin cancers. Activities like frequent tanning are known to increase the probability to this disease. People living at elevated locations or near the equator are known to be more exposed to UV radiation.

• Immuno-suppression

A highly suppressed immune system from certain medications or infections are also said to cause skin cancer. Cancerous growth can arise in scars and burns when these are exposed to radiations or certain chemicals as well.

Treatments

Treatment for skin cancer is based on the type of cancer, age of the patient, location of cancer and the intensity or penetration of the disease. If detected and treated early, skin cancer does not cause any underlying damage and can be cured fully. The treatment procedures for treating skin involves the following.

• Laser surgery
• Micrographic surgery
• Electro surgery
• Photo Dynamic Therapy
• Cryosurgery
• Excisional surgery
• Radiation
• Topical Medication

Skin cancer can be prevented by limiting sun light exposure during the peak sunny times, using sunscreen before going out in the sun and so on.

All You Need to Know About Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer is the uncontrollable growth of the abnormal skin cells. When unrepaired DNA damages to skin cells it triggers mutations, genetic effects that lead the skin cells to multiply fast and form malignant tumor. There are three types of skin cancer known as Squamous cell carcinoma (Second most common), Basal cell carcinoma (Most common) and melanoma(Rare). 

 

Basal cell carcinoma forms in any part of the skin which is highly exposed to the sun. It is not metastatic in nature (will not spread from one part to another), the tumor starts as small shiny bumps usually on the face particularly on the nose area. It usually grows very slowly and a person has an increased chance of risk if he/she appears on heavy sunlight.
 

Squamous cell carcinoma This causes due to the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells arising in the squamous cells. It often looks like red patches, open sores, warts. SSC may occur in any part of the body including mucous membrane and genitals and mostly sun-exposed areas will be having an increased risk of SSC such as the bald scalp, arms, legs, neck, face and lower lip.
 

Melanoma is the serious type of skin cancer. The signs of melanoma are changes in the skin shape, color, size and they have black-blue patches. It also appears as a new mold which may be black, abnormal in size.
 

Causes of skin cancer:
 

Too much of exposure to sunlight induces skin cancer. People who use tanning beds have the higher risk of exposing to Squamous cell carcinoma. The skin cancer might develop from ulcers, burns, long-standing sores and the areas which were previously exposed to certain chemical or X-rays. Chronic infection and skin inflammation also leads skin cancer.
 

How can skin cancer be prevented?
