Preventing Basal And Squamous Cell Skin Cancer
If you are over fifty years of age, have an unusual number of x-rays under your belt, are exposed to various chemicals due to your job, or you have light colored skin, hair and eyes, you are at risk of developing basal and squamous cell skin cancer. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer appears as moles that change shape or color, they can develop as bumps that are flat and red in appearance, or they may appear as sores that never heal. If you experience any of these, you need to take yourself to a dermatologist as soon as possible. Tell your dermatologist that you think you're developing skin cancer signs and that you'd like a biopsy. Your dermatologist will cut a piece of the mole or sore away and will then send it to a lab for testing. The test will determine if you have basal and squamous cell skin cancer and then treatment will commence. Don't worry if you do have basal and squamous cell skin cancer as it's completely treatable if caught early enough. However, the best treatment is prevention.
Wear Protection
When you hear the term "wear protection" you typically think of condoms. However, there is another type of protection you can wear and that includes sun screen and clothing. Both of these should be utilized whenever you find yourself outdoors. Even if you are young and even if you tan easily, you should still protect yourself from the sun's radiation. Anyone can develop basal and squamous cell skin cancer if they are exposed to radiation enough. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer typically appears on those parts of the body that are readily exposed to the sun. These include your face, nose, lips, neck and arms. These are the parts of the body you want to make sure you cover with clothing or at least sun screen.
Keep An Eye Out
You'll also want to keep a close eye on your skin to make sure you aren't developing basal and squamous cell skin cancer. Make sure you monitor any moles you may have to make sure they're not changing shape or color. Feel the moles to make sure they're not developing a scaly appearance or feel. And, most of all, make sure your wounds are all healing normally. Any deviation from the norm could turn into basal and squamous cell skin cancer.
The best thing you can do for yourself, besides wearing sun screen and protective clothing, is to study the signs and symptoms of basal and squamous cell skin cancer so that you can easily tell whether you have it or not. You still should never diagnose yourself, however, and you should let your dermatologist make the final prognosis even if you think everything's fine.
