Sun Spots, Age Spots and Skin Cancer
July 8, 2009
Everything starts gradually. As we grow older, we start noticing freckles and spots known as souvenirs of Florida on the parts of our bodies that are constantly exposed to the ultra violet rays of the sun. The parts of the body concerned are the hands, the face and the upper parts of the chest.
How they start
They start first as small light colored spots but with time they develop to become large and deep colored; a mark of a cosmetic problem. This is also a clear sign of aging prematurely. When left untreated, they can develop into skin cancer.
Prevention and treatment
There are sunscreens that people can use to ensure that they are safe during their outdoor activities such as golf, gardening and boating so that they can comfortably enjoy these activities without the fear of any deterioration of skin.
There are certain prescription drugs such as Retisol-A 0.01% cream for those who are suffering from these problems. They are able to give considerable improvement within 2 years.
Protective clothing
By using protective clothing like hats you can reduce the way age spots develop on your skin. This will also reduce your risk of developing skin cancer.
There are many sites online where you can get information on how to prevent skin damages and skin cancer.
There are certain signs that indicate the development of cancer. Some of these are as follows.
There are new growths that develop on the skin. These growths are not usual. Some of the growths may bleed and develop into sore that take many weeks to heal. There are moles and freckles with unusual colors and borders that are irregular.
Medication
If you already have sun spots, don’t think that is the end. There are many people who have seen improvement over a period by daily protection for about 3 to 5 years. Those who want faster improvements can go for treatments with Medlite™.
In cases of severe damage or for the fastest possible improvement, Levulan™ which is easily absorbed by the misbehaving cell when applied can be used.
No matter the type of spots, you have to consult you doctor or dermatologist before any treatment.
