Today's pick: Tanning and MelanomaJuly is UV Safety Month! With the bright sun and extensive heat we currently experience here in the Northern Hemisphere, it is of utmost importance to make sure you protect your and your loved one's skin from the dangerous UV lights of the sun.
Skin cancer arises from the outer layer of the skin. Melanoma occurs when a genetic defect develops on the DNA of a melanocyte cell in the epidermis. This genetic defect is mostly caused from the exposure by Ultraviolet lights (UVA and UVB). Although the incidence rate of melanoma is lower than non-melanoma skin cancer, melanoma appears as the deadliest among other skin cancer types. It is also more difficult to cure, and can spread to other parts of the body (it can metastasize, thus also known as metastatic melanoma).
