Although you have heard it before, it can never be stressed enough: catching skin cancer early is extremely important to both the treatment process and your successful recovery. 99% of skin cancers can be cured when caught and treated early. Knowing the primary cause of skin cancer can help you to detect it in time.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is the primary cause of skin cancer. Repeated exposure to UV light damages the DNA in the skin cells, which leads to the creation of cancer cells. Prolonged outdoor activity and direct UV exposure through devices like tanning beds can significantly increase your risk of skin cancer. In fact, tanning beds are ranked along with cigarettes as the leading causes of cancer.
