Skin cancer is as same as the other cancers, it starts when the cells grow out  of control. It starts in human skin cells. Although most of them are caused by the ultraviolet (UV)  radiation of the sun, there are some factors may increase the risk of this cancer  such as : skin color, age, the family history of skin cancer, a weak immune system, and exposure to other radiations. Let’s discuss about all of that factors, and how each may cause the skin cancers. Then it continues with the way you can notice a change or changes on your skin as skin cancers.

The Sun and its Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation in Relation with Skin Cancers

UV radiation which may cause skin cancers is divided into two : UVA and UVB. Although overexposure of both rays can damage for our skin, UVB is much stronger in causing a sunburn. For your information, sunburn is a visible sign that means your skin cells  has been damaged, and this kind of damage may happen in your skin cells’ DNA. When a few number of DNAs have been damaged, it may cause the cells to grow abnormally, and lead to the skin cancer.

Skin Color

It is true that skin cancer may happen to anyone, no matter what skin colors they have. But in most cases, the ones who have less pigment also have more risks to develop skin cancers than the ones whose skins are darker. It is because our skin pigment actually is a big help to protect skin from the UV radiation. So less pigment means less protection and increase the risk of letting UV radiation damages our skin cells.
