Increased incidence of Basal Cell Carcinomas in sun tanners
Previous studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Malignant Melanomas in tanning bed users. Now, a recent article shows an increase of early onset of Basal Cell Carcinomas among users of tanning beds.
A new, totally non toxic pediculicide (Lice killer) by the name of ULESFIA is now available in pharmacies.
Teenagers who go to tanning spas accompanied by their mother, have a greater chance to start tanning early and to become heavy tanners.
