The skin is a very important organ in our body, and there are some fairly common diseases in it. Which are?

The skin is a very important organ in our body, since it is the largest, covering and protecting the body. In addition, the skin protects us against bacteria and viruses that can cause an infection. It regulates our temperature and prevents dehydration. Therefore, remember the importance of maintaining a healthy and well-groomed skin.

Anything that can irritate the skin can cause redness , itching or swelling. Among them are some diseases, such as those described below.

The skin cancer is one of the diseases causing the formation of malignant cells, i.e. cancer cells, in the skin tissues. We can all develop skin cancer, but there are some factors that increase its appearance. The most sensitive areas to suffer from skin cancer are the head, face, neck, hands and arms, since they are the most sensitive areas.

- Exposure to ultraviolet light . The main source of this light is the sun. Therefore, we must be very careful with the time we are exposed to sunlight, always keeping our skin protected. If the intensity of the light is strong, it increases the likelihood of skin cancer. If you are going to be exposed to sunlight for a long time, being very intense, you should wear clothing that protects your body, especially the most sensitive areas.

- Tanning booths. Like sunlight, these cabins are a source of ultraviolet light. Therefore, they can also contribute to the appearance of skin cancer.

Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer . It appears because the malignant cells make a pigment called melanin, which is responsible for the color of the skin, hair and eyes. When the skin is exposed to the sun, more melanin is produced to defend ourselves from that light. And then, melanoma may appear. This melanoma manifests itself in moles or freckles that change in size or appearance. Most of them, usually have a black area.

- Color . If they change color or if you notice that it is a black tone.

- Size . If you notice that the mole changes in size, it usually becomes larger.

- Evolution . In general, any change in the mole should be studied to rule out one of the diseases and problems.
