The Seriousness of Sun Damage

Sun damage accumulates over time, making early intervention crucial. While it can’t be fully reversed, professional treatments can significantly reduce its visible impact. This cumulative effect is why older adults are more vulnerable to skin cancer. Common conditions related to sun damage include: 

Actinic Keratosis (AK)

  • Linked to UV exposure and sun damage
  • Most common type of precancerous skin lesion
  • Can develop into squamous cell carcinoma (non-melanoma skin cancer)
  • Risk factors: age 40+, high UV exposure, weakened immune system 

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)

  • Most common type of skin cancer
  • Associated with long-term sun exposure
  • Typically appears on sun-exposed areas like the face and trunk 

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

  • Results from prolonged sun exposure
  • Appears as scaly, non-healing patches on sun-exposed skin 

Melanoma

  • The most dangerous form of skin cancer
  • Develops in pigment-producing cells, often as a dark tumor
  • Can spread to lymph nodes and organs if untreated, potentially fatal
