Summer fun includes
using good sun sense
'Healthy’ tan is misleading
By George F. Sheldon
MO, FACS
The sun makes people feel healthy.
Warm and Invigorating, the sun seems to
give us energy. Some people even think they
look good onlv when they have a suntan.
They feel and look healthy. But the notion of
a “healthy tan” Is entirely misleading.
In order to get a suntan, you have to
subject your skin to two types of rays from
the sun - ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet
B (UVB) rays. UVA is a long-wave radiation
that penetrates deeply Into the skin and may
contribute to skin cancer. UVB, a short-wave
radiation, causes sunburn, premature aging,
and wrinkling. UVB also causes suppression
of the body’s immune function, one result of
which Is suntriggered cold sores. Another
difference is that ultraviolet B rays are most
intense In the summer and during midday,
while ultraviolet A is almost equally potent
throughout the day and year - and it can
even penetrate clouds and glass.
Experts predict that as many as 12 mil
lion cases of skin cancer and more than
200,000 skin cancer deaths will occur in the
U.S. over the next 50 years. That's 12 million
cases of potentially preventable cancer.
Skin cancer is a preventable disease
mainly because if you can change you atti
tude about the importance of getting a sun
tan, you can, for the most part, avoid the
cancer-causing rays of the sun. Of course
you can’t entirely avoid being exposed to the
sun, nor would anyone really want to do
that. But you can avoid the dangerous prac
tice of lying for hours under intense burning
rays at the beach or in your backyard. And if
you profession calls for you to spend your
day outdoors, you should begin to regard
sun exposure as an occupational hazard and
take the necessary precautions to protect
your skin.
Unfortunately, sunscreens play a limited
role in skin cancer prevention. While there
are products available that seem effective
against UVB rays, very few sun-protection
products contain the Only chemical ingre
dient that has been granted approval by the
Food and Drug Administration for its protec
tion against UVA rays. However, using a
sunscreen — especially one with a high Sun
Protection Factor (SPF)~is better than not
using anything at all.
Despite the limitations of most sunscreen
products, it’s only human nature to want to
spend as much leisure time as we can out
doors-especlally in warm weather. If you oc
cupation places you outdoors, you‘11
inevitably be exposed to the sun throughout
your work day. Therefore, you should make a
point not only of protecting your skin, but
also of becoming aware of the warning signs
that signal skin cancer. When detected early,
skin cancer is usually curable.
According to the American Cancer So
ciety, any unusual skin condition, especially
change in the size of a mole or other darkly
pigmented growths or spots, can be a sign
that should be checked out. In addition, sca
liness, oozing, bleeding, or change in the ap
pearance of a bump or nodule; the spread of
pigmentation beyond its border; a change in
sensation; itchiness; tenderness; or pain are
all warning signs of melanoma. See your
doctor as soon as possible if you detect th<fse
symptoms. Remember: early detection is the
key.
Skin cancer is highly preventable and
highly curable. But the number of its victims
is still alarming — the American Cancer So
ciety Estimates that there w>ll be 6,700
deaths this year alone from malignant mel
anoma. Those are 6,700 people who very well
could have been cured—100 percent cured,
perhaps—had they detected some of the
warning signals sooner. Don’t make the
same mistake. Be alert, and see your doctor
if you suspect that something may be wrong.
The right knowledge and early detection are
you best defense.

Help for sunburn sufferers
What works against the pain
of a sunburn? “According to the
FDA, products with ingredients
such as benzocaine, lidocaine,
camphor, phenol and menthol
will temporarily soother the pain
of a mild bum,” says Dr. Harriet
Jennings, extension clothing spe
cialist at North Carolina State
University. Moisturizers like co
coa butter and petrolatum can
help relieve the dryness when
burned skin begins to peel.
Check the list of ingredients on
the product label.
“Resolve to use a good suns
creen,” Jennings says. “Dermato
logists recommend an SPF (sun
protection factor) or 15 for pro
longed exposure.” Sunburn has
been related to the development
of skin cancer, wrinkles and age
spots.
“You’ll be in good company,”
Jennings says. A Gallop poll
done last year found that 45 per
cent of women aged 18 to 49 are
using more sunscreens with
higher SPFs and spenind less
time In the sun.
