CAN ACNE PRODUCTS CAUSE SKIN CANCER...

ACNE SKIN CARE IN CHICO, CA   916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC


If you are using anti-aging products or acne products you need to take extra precautions in protecting yourself from the sun. Most anti-aging and acne care products are designed to force the skin to shed its outer layers. While shedding leaves our skin smooth, radiant and clear, it also makes it more vulnerable to the sun if left unprotected. A broad spectrum sunscreen should be reapplied every 2 hours throughout the day - rain or shine, inside or outside!



WHO IS AT RISK OF GETTING SKIN CANCER:
-Everyone is at risk for getting skin cancer, but some more than others.
-Those with fair skin and a tendency to freckle and burn easily.
-Those who have had cumulative/repetitive sun exposures.
-Those taking immunosuppressive drugs such as organ transplant recipients.
-People exposed to arsenic.
-People who have had intermittent yet acute sun exposure leading to a sunburn, especially burns that occurred during childhood or adolescence.
-Those with many benign melanocyte nevi as well as atypical nevi.

WHO IS AT RISK FOR GETTING MELANOMA:
-Everyone is at risk for getting melanoma, but some more than others.
-People who have experienced intermittent yet acute sun exposure leading to a sunburn, especially burns that occurred during childhood or adolescence.
