Warn that the spring sun is dangerous
Jolanta Česienė, Head of the Skin and Venereal Diseases Branch of the Infectious Diseases Department at Klaipėda University Hospital, said that one should not rush to enjoy the sun.
“Both the spring sun and the summer sun are useful and dangerous for us. However, the spring sun is more dangerous for us because the skin after winter is not at all ready for the sun, it is pale and much faster we can get sunburned, not tan, but burn. This is where all the dangers lie, “said J. Česienė.
When the weather warmed up, many Klaipeda residents went to the seashore, although the water temperature still does not allow them to bathe, but none are tempted to spend the afternoon in the dunes, instead forgetting about sunscreen and of the sun baths.

“We really want the sun, we have been locked up at home for a long time, so we want to go out to the street, to the beach and lose our minds, forget the need to use a sunscreen and take out small children. be bald, “says the doctor.
Skin cancer is the only form of cancer that can be prevented if sunbathing is not abused. According to the doctor, it is not necessary to avoid the sun, but be careful, it is necessary.
“The sun is especially dangerous for children. Children under the age of two are banned from the sun more than is allowed. No matter how much sun we store until age 18, we will have such skin damage later on. When people under 18 years they do not see the sun or they take very little sun and only begin to sunbathe at an older age, their risk of developing skin cancer is lower than severe sunburn and sun exposure before the age of 18 ”, said Dr. J. Česienė.
Each year, about 1,800 people are diagnosed with skin cancer; in Lithuania, women are diagnosed with skin cancer more often than breast cancer.
