Skin cancer is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the outer layers of your skin. Your skin protects your body against heat, light, infection, and injury. It also stores water, fat, and vitamin D.

Causes * Exposure to the sun for prolonged periods without adequate protection. * Sensitivity to the compounds of the environment. * Burns caused by the Sun * Frequent contact with radiation. * Accidental consumption of arsenic. * Heredity.

Symptoms * Small bumps and non healing wounds. * Hardening, swelling and discoloration of the skin to darker tones.

For example, if the skin of a person is exposed to the sun for 10 minutes without burning, using a product with SPF of 40 will protect 40 times longer, so the skin will withstand the effects of the sun for 400 minutes (6 hours 40 minutes). * If you have moles is important to monitor that change their appearance. If they grow, harden, itch or bleed, you should immediately consult a dermatologist.

Very rarely, radiation therapy is used, i.e., treatment including gamma rays, X, infrared and ultraviolet. * When suffering from sunburn is recommendable to apply creams and emulsions which alleviate symptoms and help healing, which prevents damage to skin cells? * There are food supplements that help improve the patient?s condition.Talk to your doctor.
