Skin cancer is a common form of cancer in our country.
According to oncologists, the prevalence of this disease will only increase over time. To reduce the risk of developing skin cancer, it is important to know exactly which factors can trigger the disease - and not to believe in myths that have no relation to reality. We have collected the most common and most dangerous myths about skin cancer - don't believe them!
Those who never get sunburned do not get skin cancer
Even if you easily cover yourself with a beautiful even tan and never burn, you still run the risk: even the neatest tan is skin damage. A tan is an additional portion of melanin produced by the body in response to microtraumas of cells.
Skin cancer develops only on the skin
This is not true: there is a special form of melanoma that develops in the cells that produce pigment in the eyes. That is why it is so important to protect not only the skin, but also the eyes from ultraviolet rays, and wear dark glasses. And the lighter the color of your eyes, the higher your risk.
