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, Cutaneous Melanoma, Malignant Melanoma) - Cancer cells are growing in the melanocytes, the cells that are responsible for skin pigmentation. According to University of Maryland medicine and other experts, of all of the types of skin cancer, Melanoma is "the rarest and the most virulent." It is typically found in people with fair skin, light hair, and/or light eyes, though it is possible in others with different complexions, and as the experts above also assert, does not exempt those with dark brown or black skin. Identifiable symptoms include, most commonly, a mole changing color, size, shape, or state (starts oozing or bleeding), or a mole that UMM notes "feels itchy, hard, lumpy, swollen, or tender to the touch."
Squamous Cell Carcinoma- This type of skin cancer is also known as non-melanoma skin cancer. This manifests itself as red colored scaly patches or nodules. This mainly affects the Caucasians as they have a light complexion. The symptoms are mostly seen on ear-rims, lips, mouth and face.
Basal Cell Carcinoma- It is another of the most commonly found skin cancers. This type of cancer begins as a fleshy nodule in the neck, hands or the head. According to University of Maryland medicine this type of cancer affects 90% of the people in the US. This type of cancer too mostly affects the Caucasians.
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. - 15266
