Q: What is the difference between UVA and UVB rays?
A: Sunlight consists of two types of harmful rays -- ultraviolet A rays
and ultraviolet B rays. The UVB rays are the sun's burning rays (which are

doesn't allow the sunscreen to adhere to the skin as effectively.

Q: What type of clothing offers the best protection from UV rays?
A: Covering up is a valuable skin cancer prevention strategy and what a
person wears makes all the difference. Such additives, containing a new UV
protectant know as TINOSORB(r) FD and can be added to a regular wash cycle to
block up to 96 percent of the sun's harmful rays for up to 20 washes.

person, therefore it is important for individuals to recognize any changes in
the skin that are unusual. Become familiar with the pattern of your moles,

A: People who live in areas with higher levels of UV radiation from the
sun, such as regions closer to the Earth's equator, have higher risk of skin
cancer. The study also found that many doctors are not
aggressive enough in checking for melanomas in ethnic patients or in following
up on them when they are detected - - leading to more developed, "thicker"
tumors that are more difficult to treat." Like other types of sunscreens,
water-resistant sunscreens still need to be reapplied often (about every 60 to

Skin Cancer Risk Factors

Q: Can you be genetically pre-disposed to skin cancer?

born with a genetic disposition toward, or vulnerability to , developing
cancer. About 10 percent of all
patients with melanoma have family members who also have had the disease., which are the times to avoid sun exposure.

Q: If I don't burn, am I still causing skin damage?
A: Even if you don't burn, any change in skin color is a sign of permanent
skin damage that may lead to melanoma and other skin cancers, as well as
premature aging , including wrinkles and age spots.

Q: Is it true SPF levels higher than 30 are not necessary?
A: A sunscreen with a SPF of 15-30 is a good choice for most people.
Also find shade wherever possible, or use an umbrella to shield yourself. If the
shirt is wet, it loses about a third of its sun-blocking properties. For
better protection, experts recommend choosing fabrics that are 100 percent
polyester; dark colored; tightly woven and loose fitting, and to cover up with
dry clothing after swimming.

to remove a circle of tissue from the abnormal-looking growth.
