7 Reasons Why You Should Worry About Sun Exposure
5. Actinic keratoses
This is another skin disorder that is caused by over exposure to the Sun. It leads to unwanted growths on the skin. Since your hands, face, the “V” of the neck, etc., are the areas that are usually exposed to the Sun, they are the most susceptible to such type of lesions. So, if you find reddish, raised, rough growths on your body, seek medical help.
6. Damage to the eye
UV rays increase your chances of having certain cataracts, a form of eye damage which if left untreated can cause blindness. Other eye problems that you may encounter are skin cancer around the eyes, tissue growth that can block vision (pterygium), and degeneration of the macula.
7. Damage to your immune system
Studies show that excess exposure to UV radiation hampers the proper functioning of your body’s immune system and your skin’s natural defenses.
