In my point of view, UV protection is not only used as shielding the skin from sunburn, it is also helpful as a daily used healthcare treatment against premature aging, reduces the risk of skin cancer, preventing melanoma and dark spots.
I always find myself reminding my patients that UV rays penetrate through windows and clouds as they provide little defense and the effect of these rays are long lasting.
Some of the preventive measures are applying Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+ after every 2 hours and using clothes that can be used as blockage for these rays.
When the prevention measures are unsuccessful, then dermatological services act as the essential backup. Treatments like full-body skin exams for early detection of spot specious moles, dermoscopy that supports precise diagnosis of certain skin changes, cryotherapy and excisions are found helpful in removing skin cancer and actinic keratoses at early age.
Using sunscreen daily will be beneficial for my patients. Along with this, annual dermatology exams are also beneficial for the patient as professional guidance offers the patient chances for beautiful, healthy skin.
