What Can I Do to Prevent Actinic Keratosis and Skin Cancer
Actinic Keratosis is characterized by dry, scaly spots on your skin, and it can be very serious. In most cases, it is considered precancerous, meaning leaving it untreated could lead to skin cancer. In order to prevent more keratoses, and to prevent skin cancer, it is essential that you follow some guidelines about keeping your skin healthy.
First and foremost, you must limit your skin's exposure to the sun. Also, use sunscreen with SPF and cover up your skin with clothing if you must be in the sun. Also, the use of a natural skin cream is essential to protect and moisturize your skin on a daily basis.
The most helpful thing you can do is stay out of the sun. Try to put a limit on the number of hours you spend outside, even if there are clouds in the sky. Try to remain indoors during the sun's peak hours: 10am-4pm. If you are at a higher altitude, or if you are around snow, ice, or water, the sun can be even more damaging.
Anytime you go outside it is important to use sunscreen and protective clothes. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, preferably 30-50. To be effective, apply your sunscreen 20-30 minutes before going out into the sun. Don't enter the water immediately after putting on your sunscreen. Also, make sure you reapply sunscreen every 1-2 hours, even on cloudy days. Your lips need sunscreen too!
In addition to wearing sunscreen, protective clothing will help shield your skin from harmful sun rays. Pants, long sleeves, sunglasses, and wide brimmed hats defend against the harmful sun rays. The tighter the weave of the clothing, the more protected your skin will be. To shield your face and neck, wear a hat with a wide brim.
Another great way to take care of your skin and prevent harmful damage from the sun is to use a skin care cream. According to research on actinic keratosis, certain actinic keratoses treatments can greatly reduce the physical appearance of keratoses, as well as eliminate the affected skin cells and produce, new healthy cells. Creams using trichloroacetic acid for actinic keratosis can help peel away the skin lesions and allow new, healthy skin to form.
