Summertime Sun and Skin Safety

It’s party time for mostAmericans! Birthday parties, swimming parties and events, beach trips and more are the rule of the summer time fun while the kids are out of school. Soaking up the rays can be good for your vitamin D and even for your brain in that sunlight helps depression and your bones and more. It’s not all fun and games though. I had melanoma, a form of deadly skin cancer and one of the most deadly cancers there is. It can be very tiny and in non sun exposed areas such as buried in your scalp or belly button, your inner ear or the back of your eye… the retina. I’ll stick to skin cancers from tanning beds and sun for now. Skin cancer surgery can be disfiguring and devastating and skin cancer is deadly. I would love to share how to identify skin cancer and also to wear sunscreen. Wearing sunscreen helps prevent aging too! In an age where we spend thousands on Botox, fillers and anti aging lasers and products… did you know you can save so much of your time and money wearing sunscreen. Parents make your kids wear it all the time as a habit like brushing teeth!! I wish I would have as a kid.Aging and skin cancer and all preventable. I will give you published advice from theAmericanAcademy of Dermatology on sunscreens and cancers. Read more at www.aad.org

TheAmericanAcademy of Dermatology (AAD) published frequently asked questions. Here is straight from their site: Sunscreen

Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVAand UVB rays), SPF 30 or higher, Water resistance

Asunscreen that offers the above helps to protect your skin from sunburn, early skin aging3 and skin cancer. However, sunscreen alone cannot fully protect you. In addition to wearing sunscreen, dermatologists recommend taking the following steps to protect your skin and detect skin cancer early, when it’s most treatable:

Seek shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. If your shadow is shorter than you are, seek shade.4

Dress to protect yourself from the sun by wearing a lightweight and long-sleeved shirt, pants, a widebrimmed hat, and sunglasses with UV protection, when possible. For more effective sun protection, select clothing with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) number on the label.

Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn.

Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that may include vitamin supplements. Don’t seek the sun.5

Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling.3,6 If you want to look tan, you may wish to use a self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it.

Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice anything changing, itching or bleeding on your skin, see a board-certified dermatologist. Skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early.

When to wear sunscreen

Every day if you will be outside.The sun emits harmful UV rays year-round. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun’s harmful UV rays can penetrate the clouds.7

Be extra mindful about applying sunscreen around snow, sand, and water, as these surfaces reflect the sun’s rays, increasing your chance of sunburn.

Most people only apply about 20–50% of the amount of sunscreen needed to achieve the amount of SPF on the label.8

Apply enough sunscreen to cover all exposed skin. Most adults need about 1 ounce — or enough to fill a shot glass — to fully cover their entire body

Don't forget to apply to the tops of your feet, your neck, your ears and the top of your head.

Apply sunscreen to dry skin 15 minutes before going outdoors.

Skin cancer also can form on the lips.To protect your lips, apply a lip balm or lipstick that contains sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher

When outdoors, reapply sunscreen approximately every two hours, or after swimming or sweating, according to the directions on the bottle.

Is it safe to tan

UVArays (or aging rays) can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots, and can pass through window glass.

UVB rays (or burning rays) are the primary cause of sunburn and are blocked by window glass.

The United States Department of Health & Human Services and the World Health Organization’s InternationalAgency of Research on Cancer have declared UV radiation from the sun and artificial sources, such as tanning beds and sun lamps, a known carcinogen (cancer-causing substance).9

There is no safe way to tan. Every time you tan, you damage your skin.As this damage builds, you speed up the aging of your skin and increase your risk for all types of skin cancer

Studies show sunscreen does not limit vitamin D absorption!

Now for how to identify a skin cancer

Skin cancer appears on the body in many different ways. It can look like a: Changing mole or mole that looks different from your others Dome-shaped growth Scaly patch Non-healing sore or sore that heals and returns

Brown or black streak under a nail It can also show up in other ways.

To find skin cancer on your body, you don’t have to remember a long list. Dermatologists sum it up this way. It’s time to see a dermatologist if you notice a spot on your skin that: Differs from the others

Changes Itches Bleeds

THE LOOK-ABCDE

Ais forAsymmetry One half of the spot is unlike the other half

B is for Border

The spot has an irregular, scalloped, or poorly defined border

C is for Color

The spot has varying colors from one area to the next, such as shades of tan, brown or black, or areas of white, red, or blue

D is for Diameter

While melanomas are usually greater than 6 millimeters, or about the size of a pencil eraser, when diagnosed, they can be smaller

E is for Evolving

The spot looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape, or color
