Skin cancer, a malignant condition originating in the skin, can affect any part of your body, including less exposed areas like the soles of your feet or the scalp. If left untreated, it has the potential to spread to surrounding tissues and organs, posing serious health risks.

Risk Factors Unveiled: While about 90% of skin cancers are attributed to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, several other factors contribute to an individual’s susceptibility:

• Complexion: Fair-skinned individuals possess less melanin, rendering them more vulnerable to the sun’s harmful UV radiation.
• Mole Count: Those with 50 or more moles face an elevated risk of developing skin cancer.
• Tanning Bed Usage: Shockingly, the risk of developing skin cancer due to tanning bed use surpasses that of developing lung cancer from smoking. Individuals who use indoor tanning beds before the age of 30 experience a 75% increase in melanoma risk.
• Family History: A familial predisposition to skin cancer significantly heightens one’s vulnerability, especially if a close relative such as a parent, sibling, or child has been diagnosed.
• History of Sunburn: Severe, blistering sunburns during childhood or adolescence amplify the risk of melanoma. Additionally, sunburns sustained in adulthood further elevate the likelihood of developing this form of skin cancer.
• Previous Skin Cancer Diagnosis: Once an individual has experienced one instance of skin cancer, their susceptibility to subsequent occurrences escalates.
