One fine day when I was at a local store I was impressed by the hair coloring of the clerk seated there. I told her how beautiful the coloring looked on her with that perfect dark base and the streaks that looked so natural. It seemed as if the sun itself had beautifully dyed her hair. We got talking about how when we were young we did not have to take the help of any hair dye. We had to spray SunIn on the hair and exposed it to sunlight for an hour or so and we had the desired hair color. This led to discussing how that was almost impossible now what with the ozone layer weakening and the ultraviolet rays having the potential to cause irreparable damage to our hair. (SunIn by the way is not one of the aerosols but is a pump spray).
But you probably didn't come here to read about hair coloring techniques that are sun-free or chemical free, for that matterat least not specifically. You came looking for information on the different types of skin cancer. The speculation and theory does hold some evidence against chemicals in-ahem-health and beauty products; and it does point to the sun's "damaging rays" as a possible cause, etc., but here, since we aren't medical professionals, specialist, or experts, the info on the types of skin cancer is going to be basic and absent of finger-pointing, if you will:
There are three different types of skin cancer including Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Basal Cell Carcinoma also called non-melanoma skin cancer; and Melanoma.
Melanoma (also, Cutaneous Melanoma, Malignant Melanoma) - Cancer cells are growing in the melanocytes, the cells that are responsible for skin pigmentation. According to University of Maryland medicine and other experts, of all of the types of skin cancer, Melanoma is "the rarest and the most virulent." It is typically found in people with fair skin, light hair, and/or light eyes, though it is possible in others with different complexions, and as the experts above also assert, does not exempt those with dark brown or black skin. Identifiable symptoms include, most commonly, a mole changing color, size, shape, or state (starts oozing or bleeding), or a mole that UMM notes "feels itchy, hard, lumpy, swollen, or tender to the touch."
Squamous Cell Carcinoma- This type of skin cancer is also known as non-melanoma skin cancer. This manifests itself as red colored scaly patches or nodules. This mainly affects the Caucasians as they have a light complexion. The symptoms are mostly seen on ear-rims, lips, mouth and face.
Basal Cell Carcinoma- This is another common type of cancer and is found mostly on the neck, head, and/or hands. It appears as a small fleshy nodule or bump. Among the three different types of skin cancer Basal Cell Carcinoma affects the Caucasians and over 90% of the people in US who have skin cancer suffer from Basal Cell Carcinoma.
My mother had the second most common of the types of skin cancer, on her lip, and while we at first teased her that it was herpes, she was smart enough to know it was a "sun blister" and quick enough to catch it by going to a specialist. That's the good news, to give you hope when you bemoan the loss of days picnicking, swimming, and "bathing" under the wonderful sun.
