Sunlight fundamentally consists of three wavelengths: UVA, UVB, and UVC. Earth's ozone layer separates and holds the most damaging UVC rays.  People with low levels of vitamin D in their blood have much higher incidences of practically all diseases and sickness: cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, heart attack, stroke, depression, cognitive impairment, autoimmune conditions, and so on

Itchy skin, or what is medically called pruritus, can be uncomfortable and frustrating. Acute itching, during the infusion of chemotherapy, could be an early sign of a hypersensitivity reaction.

Dr. Shyamali Singhal saw that people with cancer might also have to deal with scars, wounds, or pressure sores. Cancer treatment can affect a person’s skin, hair, and nails. Often, skin problems from cancer treatment are not severe, but they can be uncomfortable and noticeable.

Whether you’re a patient or caregiver, self-care is necessary to obtain some much-needed relief from what can be an overwhelming disease. Self-care is one way to regain much-needed control over our life.

Summer is here, and it’s high time to hit the beach, have a pool party, go for a swim, have ice creams and snow cones and just hang out with friends in a garden on sunny days. Apart from all the fun, cancer patients will also need to take precautions to protect sensitive skin from the sun.

Cancer patients have sensitive skin, whether they are receiving some sort of therapy or not. Quality skincare has to be maintained throughout the year. Keeping the skin hydrated during winter, and preventing breakouts and minimize sun damage during summer months are a priority.

For most cancer patients, hives are a temporary allergic reaction to an avoidable trigger. Cold urticaria can be diagnosed by placing an ice cube on the skin for five minutes. Your doctor may recommend you try to prevent or reduce symptoms with home remedies, such as using over-the-counter antihistamines and avoiding cold exposure.

Every year more than an estimated 1.8 million people in the US are diagnosed with cancer. Cancer always takes its toll on patients’ looks, not necessarily in the form of the disease itself but in the side-effects of treatment. “It is vital for people to know that there are various things that they can do to fight these side effects,” says Dr. Singhal.

Even though the sun’s presence normally makes us feel good, everyone knows that prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays can have negative effects on our health. Actually, the sun radiates harmful ultraviolet rays. Learning how to protect from it is important.

While radiation therapy itself does not hurt, there can be short-term side effects to fight with, which can affect your hair, skin, sleep, appetite, and sentiments. Men have their own, at times distinct sets of side-effects to deal with.
