Regional hospital professionals warn against the dangers of too much sun exposure

Two professionals from the Alto Guadalquivir Hospital hosted an information table at the Alto Guadalquivir Hospital. They discussed the dangers of sun exposure as well as the risk of skin cancer. The information table was held in an area that receives 300 days of sunlight per year and has the highest temperatures. The campaign coincides with the start of summer and the celebration of the European Day for the Prevention of Skin Cancer.

Professionals advised that one should protect oneself from the sun. This advice is important for both adults and minors. It should be reinforced early in life since most skin diseases are caused by sunlight exposures made before the age of 18. The skin's memory can accumulate and this damage can lead to skin cancers.

The most serious form of skin cancer is melanoma. Although skin cancer is more common than breast and lung cancers, it's also one of the easiest types to detect and prevent.
