Prevention

Unlike other cancers, skin cancer can be seen by the patient's ownself, so the rate of early detection is high. As most skin cancer grows slowly, it is possible to treat early, prevent metastasis, and reduce skin wounds. Precancerous diseases such as solar keratosis, Bowen's disease, Paget's disease, etc. may turn into cancer if they are not treated, therefore they must be well treated.

  • Screening the sun Skin exposure to sunlight must be reduced.
    Especially, UV rays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. is the most damaging and strongest.

  • Putting on sunscreen Sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher must be put on when go out.
    Even when it is cloudy.
