Skin Cancer UV

What is UV Skin Cancer

Skin cancer caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation is one of the most common forms of cancer. UV radiation from the sun (natural) and artificial sources, such as welding, UV Curing in printing & car repair and lasers for example , damages the DNA in skin cells. This damage can accumulate over time, leading to mutations that cause skin cells to grow uncontrollably, resulting in cancer.
