O singură arsură solară gravă îți poate afecta sănătatea pentru tot restul vieții, avertizează dermatologii

A recent meta-analysis highlights the long-term risks of severe sunburns, particularly during childhood, in developing skin cancer. The study, involving over 321,000 participants, found a significant correlation between painful sunburns and an increased likelihood of squamous cell carcinoma. Those with a history of severe sunburns had a 69% higher risk, especially if these occurred frequently in childhood. Despite known risks, many individuals neglect sun protection, with a notable percentage believing sunscreen is harmful. Dermatologists emphasize the importance of UV protection to mitigate long-term health consequences.
