Doctor stated that the habit of sunbathing can lead to serious illnesses. Skin cancer most often affects people who have been exposed to the sun a lot, especially at a young age. This group also includes lovers of solariums, especially those who were fond of them before the age of 35, reports NBN with reference to Channel 24.
According to an oncodermatologist, the sun harms everyone, so in the summer it is important to always use cream with SPF, cover the body with clothing and wear sunglasses.
The doctor explained that in addition to skin cancer, active exposure to sunlight on the body causes photoaging, photokeratitis, cataracts and disruption of the immune system.
Some people prefer a solarium instead of going to the beach, but, according to Maksimenko, it is even more dangerous, because the light from the lamp is comparable to the midday sun in the tropics.
Previously, the doctor told whether laser hair removal is harmful to health and from what extent age, you can have the procedure.
