- How do UV rays cause skin cancer?
UVA and UVB rays form adducts between our DNA bases. When this damage occurs frequently, it leads to mutated genes, which can cause skin cancer. These genetic mutations disrupt normal cell function and can lead to uncontrolled cell growth.
- What can be done to prevent sun exposure-induced skin damage?
To prevent sun exposure-induced damage:
Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, especially in India.
Wear full-sleeve clothing.
Avoid unnecessary sun exposure.
Wear a hat when going outdoors.
