If you think sun exposure and “harmless” UV rays can’t cause serious skin damage, it’s time to learn the facts. About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 86 percent of melanomas are linked to UV radiation from the sun.

Protect your skin every day, regardless of the weather with UPF clothing, sunscreen, protective accessories and sunglasses.

UV radiation is part of the natural energy produced by the sun. On the electromagnetic spectrum, UV light has shorter wavelengths than visible light, so your eyes can’t see UV, but your skin can feel it. Tanning beds also emit UV radiation. UV radiation is a proven human carcinogen.

Two types of UV light are proven to contribute to the risk for skin cancer:
* Ultraviolet A (UVA) has a longer wavelength. It is mainly associated with tanning and skin aging but can also lead to sunburn.
* Ultraviolet B (UVB) has a shorter wavelength. It is mainly associated with sunburn.�

While UVA and UVB rays differ in how they affect the skin, they both do harm. Unprotected exposure to UVA and UVB damages the DNA in skin cells, producing genetic defects, or mutations, that can lead to skin cancer and premature aging. UV rays can also cause eye damage, including cataracts and eyelid cancers.

Skin cancer can happen to anyone, at any age, on any part of the body. And because skin cancers appear in many shapes and sizes, they can be challenging to identify.

While skin cancer pictures can be helpful in learning what skin cancer can look like, getting to know your own skin and understanding what to look for can help you detect cancer early when it’s easiest to cure.
