Medicii avertizează asupra riscurilor trendului "tanmaxxing" de pe TikTok

The viral trend 'tanmaxxing' promotes extreme tanning through prolonged sun exposure without protection, increasing skin cancer risks. Dermatologist Cristina Safta warns against this dangerous practice, highlighting its severe health consequences. She explains that methods like sunbathing during peak UV hours and using unregulated tanning products can lead to serious skin damage and a higher likelihood of melanoma, especially in younger individuals. Safta emphasizes the importance of using sunscreen and safe tanning practices to minimize health risks. Additionally, she discusses 'tanorexia,' a psychological disorder linked to an obsession with achieving a perfect tan.
