At a local store that I had been to recently, I was quite impressed by the hair coloring of the clerk there. I told her how good it looked with that dark base and the streaks that looked so natural; as if sun kissed. This led us to talking about how earlier when we were young we did not have to resort to any hair dyes. We just had to apply SunIn and stay in the sun for a couple of hours to get the desired hair color. We also discussed how that was almost impossible to be done now what with us destroying the ozone layer and thereby exposing ourselves to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. (SunIn, by the way is just a pump spray and not at all an aerosol)
But you probably didn't come here to read about hair coloring techniques that are sun-free or chemical free, for that matterat least not specifically. You came looking for information on the different types of skin cancer. The speculation and theory does hold some evidence against chemicals in-ahem-health and beauty products; and it does point to the sun's "damaging rays" as a possible cause, etc., but here, since we aren't medical professionals, specialist, or experts, the info on the types of skin cancer is going to be basic and absent of finger-pointing, if you will:
There are three types of skin cancer: Basal Cell Carcinoma (a.k.a. non-melanoma skin cancer); Squamous Cell Carcinoma; and Melanoma.
Melanoma (also called Malignant Melanoma or Cutaneous Melanoma) - The cancer cells take birth in the melanocytes which is the pigment that gives skin its color. The University of Maryland medicine says that Melanoma is the most harmful of all the different types of skin cancer. It mostly occurs in people who have fair skin, light hair and light eyes. It also occurs in people who have other complexions too. People who have brown or black complexion are equally at risk of contracting Melanoma. The symptoms of the disease includes moles that have recently changed color, shape, size, or its state (if it starts to ooze or bleed), or a mole that according to the University of Maryland medicine is swollen, itchy, or hard.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma- This is also known as non-melanoma skin cancer. In the early stages it manifested in red colored patches or nodules in the skin. It is the second most common type of cancer and affects mostly the fair skinned. It is evident mostly in the rims of the ears, lips, face, and mouth.
Basal Cell Carcinoma- This is another common type of cancer and is found mostly on the neck, head, and/or hands. It appears as a small fleshy nodule or bump. Among the three different types of skin cancer Basal Cell Carcinoma affects the Caucasians and over 90% of the people in US who have skin cancer suffer from Basal Cell Carcinoma.
My mother suffered from the second most common of types of the cancer of the skin and at first we thought it was Herpes. She however knew it was nothing but sun blister. She went to an expert who took care of the problem. That's a piece of good news to instill some hope when you lament the loss of swimming, sunbathing and picnicking in the summer sun. - 16089
