Take care of your skin: how to prevent skin cancer

Nowadays, and according to the World Health Organization, 1 out of 3 cancers experienced by mankind is a skin cancer, and it is the only one that can be prevented and diagnosed early with the help of the patient.

Following these simple steps as follows, we can prevent most cases of skin cancer:

• Avoid sun exposure during the main hours of the day (especially between noon and 4pm).
• Use creams with a high photo protection (minimum with SPF 30).
• Use clothing (shirt, pants…), hat and homologated sunglasses.
• Don’t use tanning booths.
• Apply the sun protection half an hour before the solar exposure. Apply every 2 hours.
• A part from using photo protection, also seek for the shadow always.
• Extreme the previous measurements in the case of children.

Check your skin and when in doubt, consult with your dermatologist.
