Keith Bailey, MD Junior Deacon Scotch Ireland # 154, Cleveland, NC We are blessed with a moderate climate most of the year and outdoor activities are a great part of our lives. ere are primarily three types of skin cancers. All are potentially caused by sun exposure, and one of those types can become terminal very quickly. It is not correct to believe skin cancers are only a nuisance. MOST COMMON: BCC e most common is Basal-cell (BCC), almost entirely caused by sun exposure without sunscreen. Sunscreens usually wear off after about two hours, regardless of what manufacturers say. If you swim or perspire a lot the applica- tion duration should be shorter. Left untreated, BCC can spread to internal organs and become a life- threatening cancer, although deaths from metastatic BCC are rare. SQUAMOUS CELL e next most serious is Squa- mous Cell skin cancer (SCC). is usually starts out as a red sore area known as an actinic keratosis and is treated in many dermatologists or family physician's office. However, left untreated for an even shorter time than BCC it can spread to internal organs and kill. It is the same squamous cell found in lungs from smoking. SCC can most often be prevented with appropriate use of sunscreen and avoid hottest parts of day from exposure. MALIGNANT MELANOMA Malignant melanoma can be enhanced by sun exposure, but also can be hereditary. It has distinct characteristics, which most health- care providers would recognize. Untreated, it can be fatal, taking a life in as little as a few months. HERE'S WHAT TO DO e best advice is to see a derma- tologist once a year for a detailed skin exam. It usually takes less than 30 minutes, and can be a life-saver. Always wear sunscreen, especially in the summer. Avoid exposure during the hottest part of the day and go to your dermatologist in between checkups if areas of your skin itch, bleed, feel painful or feel like a burn.
