Long Term Effects of Sun Exposure Eye damage Wrinkles & age spots Suppression of protective function of immune system Skin cancer

Skin Cancer Three types: Basal cell, squamous cell, and melanoma

Basal and Squamous Can be removed 90% of time Appear in sun-exposed areas Rarely spread to other parts of body Look like: pale, wax-like, red, scaly, sharply outlined patch, sore that does not heal

Melanoma Starts as a small, mole-like growth; then grows and changes Can be removed surgically Advanced stages may require chemotherapy Can spread to other parts of the body quickly Early detection is critical

ABCD’s of moles & birthmarks Asymmetry: one-half of a mole or birthmark does not match the other half Border: The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred. Color: The color is not the same all over. Diameter: The area is larger than the size of a pencil eraser.
