The sunny months are here and with them come the barbeques, picnics and outdoor fun that make summer so enjoyable. But spending too much time out in the sun can be dangerous, so it is important to keep some things in mind before stepping out into the sunshine.



Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and claims the lives of approximately ten thousand Americans every year. The sun's ultraviolet rays are the most prevalent environmental factor that contributes to the disease, and prevention begins with addressing how to best cover up from the sun.



While anyone can develop skin cancer, those most at risk are people with light skin, hair and eyes, those that have a family or personal history of skin cancer and those who have more moles or freckles than most. As well, tanning and tanning beds are a terrible idea. Exposing yourself to UV rays in any form is putting yourself at needless risk to get skin cancer.



To detect for early symptoms of skin cancer it is best to consult with a doctor at least once a year. As well, conduct a thorough self-examination once a month. Look for new growth or any skin change in areas that have been exposed to the sun. Melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer is especially hard to stop once it has spread to other parts of the body. However, it can be treated in its earliest stages. If you find something abnormal with your skin, consult a doctor immediately.



The best way to protect yourself from the sun's harmful UV rays is to always remember to wear a hat and sunglasses while out in the sun. As well, it is advisable to wear long sleeves and use a high quality sunscreen. Ombrelle and Anthelios are two very effective brands that are not available in the United States, but can be ordered online through Canada Pharmacy.
