Filed under General
Among all cancers, the skin cancers will show relatively less fatalities and as it can be detected early by being vigilant, the illness can be prevented or even cured in plenty of such instances. But, if it remains undetected, it can metastasize to other organs of the body and cause fatal outcomes.
Certain factors such as fair skin, light coloured eyes, blonde hair, relatives history of skin cancer, increase presence of moles and freckles in the skin, easy susceptibility to sun burn as well as using artificial sun lamps along with prolonged exposure to direct sun light are thought to make a person more susceptible than others in contracting a skin cancer.
When thinking about the preventative methods for skin cancers, following options are effective to a sure extent if they are implemented fully.
Researchers have identified sure factors which can influence the development of a skin cancer in otherwise normal individuals and among these UV light plays an important part. Out of the light spectrum, UVA and UVB have shown more association with skin cancer and UVB seems to be a more serious culprit than UVA.
1. Avoid direct exposure to sun light.
The researchers are emphasizing the require to keep away from direct sun rays during 9 am to 4 pm as this being the time period which gives away the strongest UV rays. It should also be recalled that presence of clouds in the sky is not a barrier for the UV rays and at least 80% of the rays will reach the earth surface even in cloudy conditions.
2. Wear protective clothing and hats while being exposed to direct sun light
It is stated that tightly woven cloths which are long sleeved will serve this purpose. The hats should ideally cover the areas in the neck as well as the face and thus the appropriate design would be a hat with a larger surrounding brim.
3. Apply sun screen or sun balm
The applications should take place at least half an hour before exposing to direct light as well as every 2 hours while you are under direct sun light.
It should also be recalled that even the swimmers are not spared from these UV rays as it can penetrate the water at least up to 1 - 2 feet from the surface.
4. Re-apply sun screen after taking a swim
Acute alter in its size, alter in its appearance as well as the colour would indicate changed taking place in the site and this could well be the initiation of a cancer system. Thus, a person needs to be vigilant regarding his moles and freckles and any abnormalities detected should be verified through a clinician.
5. Keep a close eye on moles and freckles
These sun lamps will give away harmful UV rays in a proportion over the natural sun light. Thus, avoiding tanners and salons which use Sun lamps would prevent the occurrence of a skin cancer to a sure level.
6. Avoid using artificial sun lamps
Primary causes of skin cancer :: Types of skin cancer

Non-melanoma skin cancers are commonly known as Basal cell carcinoma and Squamous carcinoma, both of which are on the increase with lots of new cases diagnosed each year in the USA. The Ultraviolet rays from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer. Ultraviolet rays are invisible energy generated by the sun which creates the heat that can burn the skin if exposed for long periods.
Ultraviolet rays destroy the DNA (genetic material) which controls the growth and health of the skin and when it is severely damaged, the skin begins to grow in an uncontrolled way producing abnormal cells. Excessive exposure to the sun permanently damages the skin giving rise to premature aging, wrinkling and carcinoma.
Although exposure to the sun is recognised as the prime cause of skin cancer there are other important causes such as, suppression if the immune method, exposure to high levels of x-rays, contact with arsenic, most commonly found in sheep shearers, farmers and miners. Genetics also play a pivotal role. People who have blond hair, green eyes, fair skin that burns easily and create freckles when they are exposed to the sun, are heavily pre-dispose to developing the skin cancer.
There’s four kinds of ultraviolet rays, ultraviolet ‘A’ (UVA) and Ultraviolet ‘B’ (UVB) rays. Scientist four times believed that the UVB rays was the cause of skin cancers, however research had now proven that both rays are responsible for the development of the disease.
Also at risk are people with genetic disorders of the skin, commonly known as Albinos, where their skin, hair and eyes are devoid of pigmentation. Also people born with moles and those who have historicallyin the past been treated for skin cancer.
Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer which young people are more pre-disposes to developing. The age group most likely to be affected are those between twenty four and twenty nine years of age. If left untreated, melanomas can be fatal.
However, the more common types of skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma and squamous carcinoma which can be found mostly in older age groups. Basal cells cancer appear on the skin as a smooth slightly raised bump which is commonly found on the head, neck and shoulders. On close inspection it also has tiny blood vessels which sometimes have a central depression that bleeds easily and frequently.

While getting irritated or reacted to any allergy, the tubes get narrower and in result your lungs possess less amount of air.

Asthma causes wheezing, chest pain, lungs pain, chest tightness, trouble breathing and sometimes Asthma can also lead to death. Asthma can be controlled with the help of Inhaler or Air-pump, one of the common medical tools to control Asthma. Asthma attacks are dangerous and can be treated with the instant use of Inhaler. Asthma can also be treated with quick relief and long term relief medicines.
I would advise you that if you are suffering from Asthma then you should take care of your health and have to avoid tension or stress. Keep yourself away from things you don’t like or prefer, also be away from dust and pollution.
TUBERCULOSIS (TB): It is one of the diseases caused by bacteria named Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacterium usually attacks lungs of a human being, causing damage to many other parts of body. It is one of the contagious disease which spreads through air with cough or sneezing of a person having TB.

Tuberculosis can be treated with medication and on follow-up advice of an expert doctor regarding medicines and remedies. Because TB becomes active when not treated during initial stages and hence during active stage it can prove dangerous.
ULCER: Ulcers are the sores on the lining of your digestive tract. They are usually 1/4th or 3/4th inches in diameter and are also called as Gastric Ulcers. In short, Ulcers in the stomach and duodenum are referred to as peptic Ulcers. Ulcer is usually an imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors because on one hand too much of pepsin can damage the stomach lining while on other end damage comes from some different causes making stomach lining susceptible to even an ordinary level of gastric acid.
Ulcer when left untreated for many days can lead to a bleeding Ulcer or a perforated ulcer. Ulcer can be treated by getting rid of H.Pylori bacteria and this can be carried with help of treatment called triple therapy.
I would advise you to avoid smoking, spicy food, pickles, and alcohol for preventing as well as healing Ulcer.
