Although there is more awareness about the dangers of sunbathing, very few of us actually understand how it can damage our health or how they could enjoy the sun safely without the worry of solar keratoses.
I had a concern about the 'place' on my face recently, and as it was only a short time before a family vacation I have an appointment with my GP when we returned, and that really brought me back down to earth with a thud when he mentioned could be solar keratoses -. also known as Actinic keratosis
Realistically I know I should have attended before, especially as I intend to sunbathe most days, although certainly - Factor 30 Sun Lotion + 50 moles of the sun over all the areas that are easy to get tender, such as shoulders and face uvisoka thirty degrees, a big floppy hat and good quality sunglasses.
Eight weeks ago I noticed what I thought at first was a place on my cheek. I've never really had a place as a teenager, so I watched this place growing, patiently waiting for their time, so I could squeeze in!
After pressing the point quickly turned it red and uncomfortable, so I complained to the touch and it took several days to heal more, it sent my little gray cells to work overtime, even though I knew he did not look anything like the pictures of skin cancer I've seen, I was a little worried.
When he was heals over a very grown up and ridiculous shape that several people have mentioned, but it was not black - it was very white and very dry were turned and horny -. I ignored it
Although it never bothers me, unconsciously her fingers would not leave him alone. At home I kept covered completely with the sun and with all my moles, but again, I accidentally knocked on top of him and heal back larger than it was before.
never smoked or taken drugs - just laid down, eat good food and drink very little alcohol, I personally believe that a healthy lifestyle, but my sunbathing habits -. Especially in my younger days jeopardize this
for the sun makes most of us feel good factor, and a bit of sun a day is good for us because it allows the body to enhance the production of vitamin D in the skin.

I consider myself very lucky this time as a "place" is nothing to worry, my doctor remove it for me and insisted that I regularly check other sites like this, and that was 110% better sought his advice before my vacation, not to squeeze him!
I am fully aware that I was and that his advice was correct, but I chose to ignore my conscience, and that is what we all have to change.
