Melanoma<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s the most dangerous variety of skin cancer, which develops when UV radiation damage to the skin cells triggers genetic defects that result in tumor growth. Typically resembling moles, the majority of melanomas are brown or black, but can present multiple different shades. For those who have a family history of melanoma, frequent sun exposure can easily provoke malignant tumor growth.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Squamous cell carcinoma<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s a growth that forms in the squamous cells, which make up most of the epidermis. Caused by continual sun exposure during a lifetime, squamous cell carcinoma often shows up as sores, scabby patches of skin, warts, or elevated areas that bleed when bumped. Squamous cell carcinomas may occur anywhere on the body, but typically appear in areas that experience frequent UV exposure.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Basal cell carcinoma<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>It arises in basal cells, which occur in the deepest layers of the epidermis. The abnormal growths or lesions that emerge usually resemble shiny bumps, red patches, or inflamed sores. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and typically does not spread beyond the tumor site. While it is important to have any growths examined by a doctor, basal cell carcinoma is rarely life-threatening.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Preventative Measures<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are many\u00a0measures you can take to help prevent skin cancer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22175\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22175\" style=\"width: 759px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094.jpg\" alt=\"Image: indianexpress.com\" width=\"759\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094.jpg 759w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094-150x83.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094-696x387.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.pamper.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sunscreen_759_thinkstockphotos-514258094-755x420.jpg 755w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22175\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image: indianexpress.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Wear SPF, always!<\/b> Harmful UV rays may be more prevalent during specific times of the day or certain seasons, but it is always important to protect your skin from the sun.<\/li>\n<li><b>Invest in UV-blocking clothing<\/b> for outdoor activities, which help you to protect areas where sunscreen is not practical.<\/li>\n<li><b>Avoid sunburn at all costs<\/b>.
