Skin Cancer Prevention and Education in Bangalore

At Vyshnavi Hospitals, we believe that awareness is the first step toward prevention. Skin cancer, one of the most common cancers worldwide, is largely preventable through early education and smart lifestyle choices.

Understanding Skin Cancer
Skin cancer occurs when abnormal skin cells grow uncontrollably, often due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or tanning beds. The three main types are Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma – the most aggressive form.

Prevention Starts with Protection
Prevention is possible, and it begins with daily habits:
• Use Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, even on cloudy days
• Avoid Peak Sun Hours: Stay indoors or seek shade between 10 AM and 4 PM
• Protective Clothing: Wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and UV-protective clothing
• Skip the Tanning Beds: They significantly increase skin cancer risk
• Regular Skin Checks: Monthly self-examinations and annual dermatologist visits are essential

Education Matters
Vyshnavi Hospitals offers community education programs, early screening clinics, and expert consultations to empower individuals with knowledge. Our dermatology and oncology teams work together to detect skin cancer early and offer personalized treatment plans.
