Advised not to exposure to the sun between the hours of ten and four in the afternoon
Sun protection is crucial to prevent damage resulting therefrom, whether short term or long term and in all ages. Extreme exposure to sunlight can occur severe pain, and displays the body and skin to solar burns. Also, severe sunburn can cause a significant hazard to the skin at a later time from a person's life, such as skin cancer.
The damage from the sun is often done in the period between the hours of ten in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon when the rays of the sun in the height of its power, even in the days when the clouds or stand under the trees, so you must use condoms from the sun to prevent sunburn or skin exposure to damage from sunlight.
The sun has many benefits as its damage is known about which Dr. Ali Atallah Radadi, Consultant and Chairman, Department of Dermatology at King Khalid Hospital in Jeddah, stressing the benefits of sunlight, which can be summarized in that they help the vision and assistance to do daily work, and has a key role in the formation of compound vitamin «D» is necessary for the growth of bone through the skin, and assist in the treatment of a number of skin diseases and some diseases of infants and children, as they help to increase the amount of oxygen necessary for life in the air and get rid of carbon dioxide harmful to life, and the sun's rays provide warmth and helps to kill germs, and it has an important role in nutrition is essential for plant growth.
Adverse effects
He then went on d. Radadi to the adverse effects resulting from exposure to sunlight that can affect all ages of children and adults and the elderly, also include the incidence of both sexes, sick and healthy.
And sun damage include the following:
• incidence of burning the skin.
• change the color and pigmentation of the skin.
• eye infection cataract disease.
• infected skin photosensitivity disease.
• weakened immune systems.
• the symptoms of premature aging.
• poisoning of photosynthesis.
• incidence of thermal stress.
• irritation of some skin diseases that may be present in advance.
• irritation of some internal diseases that may be present in advance.
• sunlight interacts with some medications used by the person that leads to infection of some skin diseases and the interior.
• the risk of some cancer tumors benign or malignant.
UV
According to Dr. Ali Radadi that sunlight has many physical properties and contains many of the radiation of electromagnetic waves visible and invisible. Important type of these rays, is ultraviolet light, which is divided into three sections, namely:
- UV - "C" (UVC) have a characteristic palace invisible electromagnetic wave which is the most dangerous species to humans, but do not reach the earth's surface but absorbed by the outer casing in what is known as the ozone layer, which rise above our heads, about 20 km.
Some of the chemicals used in our daily lives have the ability to influence the ozone layer, leading to the so-called ozone hole resulting from the interaction of these materials with the gas component of the ozone layer, which may allow the passage of this type of deadly radiation, and access to the surface of the earth. Has all States the necessary arrangements to limit the use of these harmful substances to preserve the ozone layer.
- And UV "B" (UVB) have a characteristic medium wave and tends to color to white and are more concentrated between the hours of ten in the morning and the fourth afternoon, these are the times that we must make sure the lack of unnecessary exposure to these rays, especially those who complain of illness related to the sun have been advised by doctors avoiding these rays.
- UV - "eh" (UVA) have a characteristic wave electromagnetic longer, and show in the morning and before sunset and be more focused before nine o'clock am and four o'clock pm and generally considered safe in all situations where exposure to them during hiking, swimming and others.
And defensive means
And on the means of natural defense in the skin to prevent sun damage in humans, according to d. Radadi that the most important is the accumulated surface skin cells, which do not reach because of radiation into the skin, as well as a coloring cells that give skin its natural color and because of immunity increase the skin, and the lack of it when the skin is exposed to infection damaged the sun. In addition, there are materials that keep the skin naturally, such as beta carotene found in some vegetables such as carrots, have the ability to absorb some of the harmful rays, you play as enzymes natural skin play an important role in the prevention of sun damage as the lack of it causes the skin is exposed to damage many.
Finally, the skin has a natural ability to self-repair resulting from the adverse effects of the sun continuously and complete. When there are genetic diseases that cause a lack of these enzymes notice symptoms effects of the sun such as premature aging and cancer.
It is recommended that dermatologists must be adhered to:
• Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight, especially between the hours of ten in the morning and three in the afternoon.
• The use of solar umbrellas.
• Do not take baths solar.
• wearing broad hats or head covering when exposed to sunlight.
• Use sunglasses.
• Use protective clothing.
• If you had to be from exposure to sunlight it is recommended to use a condom protects a person from the rays of the sun and contains protective factors from the sun.
• Monitor children and advise them of the harmful effects of sunlight.
Make prevention
There is a special number on the packages of lotions protective from the sun (SPF), All the preparations protective from the sun can protect the skin, whether of beauty or prescribed as a treatment and have a certain degree of protection is measured in numbers. The figure that appears on the outer shell of the packaging indicates the degree of force protection that product. For example, if it appears on the cover No. 15, it means that the product gives protection (15) times more than normal and thus the greater the number the stronger the product is on prevention.
And preparations with a low figure under (6) is used for beauty and gain bronze color, but the one which increases the number of (8) is described as medicines and sunscreen for people to ensure that patients affected by radiation.
Protection from the sun
Clothing: most types of clothing to give protection from the sun either by absorbing harmful rays or by reverse harmful rays from the body.
And here we must take into account the following important points:
• Heavy cotton clothing is loose enough to give protection.
• Light cotton clothes give the degree of protection (7) more than normal.
• Clothing is white cotton FABRIC gives little protection because it allows the passage of a large amount of radiation to the body.
• wet clothes do not give good protection contrary to popular belief.
• clothing with short sleeves and not enough for prevention.
• are advised to always wear gloves and hats.
Umbrellas solar system: give protection from the sun's harmful rays, but never as a whole, because the rays up to the body by refraction and some rebound from nearby surfaces such as sand, sea and snow. So be careful, especially for patients who must use protective vehicles from the sun.
Glass windows and cars: the glass has a property opposite the sun of the Mediterranean type of ultraviolet radiation (UVB) is the most damaging to the body while allowing the UV long-wave UVA-type semi-safe to pass into the skin. Generally recommended for those affected by the sun to take the necessary precautions.
Melanoma
D say. Ali Radadi that are most vulnerable to skin cancer are whites. The brown-skinned and black they are less susceptible to this cancer, because their skin pigment provides them with protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays.
And everyone can differentiate between skin cancer and moles and other bumps offices which grows on the skin are not harmful but the doctor is the only one who can give a correct diagnosis, and there are some signs that may warn of the presence of cancer, including ulcers that do not heal and any changes in size or the color of moles or bumps, and the appearance of any strange spot in a different color on the skin.
The causes of skin cancer, is exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, and it happens often to users of solar baths down, and those who require the nature of their work to stay long periods in sunlight, even for low doses. As well as exposure to x-rays at the X-ray imaging.
Must provide one or most of the following factors for the emergence of skin cancer:
• Exposure to sunlight and the incidence of burning sun.
• When some genetic predisposition.
• climatic factors such as site person in the world as well as the change in the arrival of the sun due to the impact the protective ozone layer.
Finally, early detection and prompt treatment is actually effective to ensure full treatment for most types of skin cancer, except melanoma, which arises predominantly in the moles and carries fewer opportunities for healing.
