Hey There,
Today we will be discussing about the disease called as SUNTAN. I hope you are familiar with this disease, hey don’t take me wrong I mean you have some sort of info about suntan. HAHAHA!!!!
So firstly we shall be discussing about all factor which causes suntan.
CAUSES Of SUNTAN :
In today’s world global warming is the big problem which needs to emphasize on. Every time when our body gets hot under the sun rays, some people get sunburn and many other gets a suntan.
Melanin is a substance that is present in our skin and it is responsible for the color of our body. People who have dark skin have more melanin. People who have light skin have less.
Melanin protects the inner layers of skin. Whenever our body gets heated, it makes even more melanin to protect the body skin. People who have dark skin usually turns browner or tan, when they go in the sun whereas Light-skinned people usually turn redder, or burn, when they go in the sun. Overall, SUNTAN is caused by exposure to UV rays. So now we have a basic knowledge of how suntan is caused. Now rather going into deep we will be discussing about the effects of suntan.

PHOTOSENSITIVITY :
A minimal dose of UV rays is sufficient for causing rash or severe sunburn. Photosensitivity is related to the use of medicines, including some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, tranquillizers, oral anti-diabetics, antibiotics and antidepressants.
Non-melanoma skin cancers :
Non-melanoma skin cancers are most frequent on those parts of the body that are commonly exposed to the sun such as ears, face, neck and forearms. The numbers of time spend by the workers under the direct sunlight or under UV rays are responsible for causing non-melanoma skin cancers.
