Every year, according to the source AIRTUM, the Italian Association of Cancer Registers, about 14,000 new cases of skin melanoma occur in our country. Mostly among men, but women follow suit. Unfortunately, what is worrying is the increasing numbers, which have even doubled in the last ten years. In the ranking of skin cancers, cutaneous melanoma occupies the percentage of 5%. Instead, here is the cancer that is increasing in our country, affecting thousands of Italians every year. As we will see in this article of our editorial team documented by the data of the AIRC, it is our habits that often make the difference. That’s why spreading sunscreen on your partner can save their life by preventing this cancer.
Beware of sun exposure
Doctors and researchers agree that one of the main dangers for the contraction of cutaneous melanoma is excessive exposure to the famous UVA rays. Whether we spend too many hours a day in the direct sun, or we abuse lamps and sun beds, the ultraviolet rays are there ready to hit us. Unfortunately, while sunbathing is good because it gives us vitamin D, taking too much alters the DNA of the skin. Here then is that for the health of our dermis, we remind you once again how important it is to use sunscreen creams.
Spreading sunscreen on your partner can save their life by preventing this cancer
An American research is also really curious, officially reported by the AIRC website in which, data in hand, it is highlighted how high the percentage of singles affected by melanoma is. It may indeed seem like a somewhat strange reasoning, yet being close to a partner with their advice and actions may prove to be the best preventative action. In fact, how many times will it have happened to us to arrive at the beach and feel blocked especially by the wives who want to spread sunscreen on our bodies. If until today we considered it a waste of time, after reading this research, let’s remember to thank our companions immolating ourselves to the cause of the cream.
Also important for information
University of Baltimore scholars also stressed the importance of having an informational partner in prevention. It is therefore not only important that there is someone who spreads sunscreen on us, but that there is also in the family who reminds us how important preventive diagnosis is. In fact, the study shows that the greater percentage of singles affected by skin melanoma would not have close to the person who requests the controls. As often happens, the truth is in fact much closer than one might think.
