Janny's! Nice to see you, where are you going in such a hurry?
Ronny handsome, well let me tell you that I'm going to my second ultraviolet tanning session.
Tanning session!You must be careful, it has been proven that there is a risk of contracting melanoma, aka skin cancer
- Is it possible? I did not know that exposure to ultraviolet light has these consequences
Yes, ultraviolet light has the ability to form covalent bonds in DNA, of the pyrimidine dimer type. In this way our DNA ends up being damaged and mutated.
But I have read that one mutation is not enough to cause cancer
Well, that's the situation. UV radiation accumulates in our body according to the time we are exposed to it.
Okay! I just got it! The more time I spend exposed to UV radiation, the more risk I have of developing melanoma.
Exactly, melanoma is due to the fact that the dermis and epidermis of our skin were affected. That also causes aging.
Oh! If the situation is like that, I'd better spend my money on anti-aging creams.
Actually, you shouldn't spend that much money, just use sunscreen with a UV filter.
I thank you for the advice Ronny, it is seen that it is always better to be informed
