UV Radiation and Skin Disorders

Keywords: UV radiation and the skin, suntan, sunburn, photoageing, photosensitivity, non-cancerous growth, skin cancer, prevention.

Abstract: Frequent exposure or high doses of UV radiation may lead to temporary or permanent changes to your skin. Sunburn is a painful reminder. Too much damage will show up in wrinkles and dry skin. A variety of substances or disorders can trigger photosensitivity. These can be food, medication or skin-care product. Certain medical conditions trigger photosensitivity or UV radiation can aggravate a condition. DNA is the ‘repair manual’ of the skin. UV radiation is capable of seriously distorting the information contained in the DNA puzzle. The repair process may not proceed on its intended path and could lead to skin cancer instead. Skin cancer occurs mostly in fair-skinned populations.
