Wearing sandals often in summer should be wary of skin cancer

Summer is coming, and sandals are a favorite type of shoes for men, women, young and old. However, people who often wear sandals and are exposed to the sun for a long time should be careful about the occurrence of skin cancer. This is because wearing sandals often exposes a large area of ​​foot skin to the sun, which increases the risk of skin cancer.

Flip-flops are a very popular shoe style in the summer, but this type of shoe easily exposes a large area of ​​the foot skin to direct sunlight, and few people apply sunscreen on their feet when going out or check them regularly, thus unknowingly increasing the risk of skin cancer.

In fact, in daily life, in addition to the skin on the feet, other skin should also be protected from excessive exposure to the sun, especially in the summer between 10 am and 3 pm, because the ultraviolet radiation during this period is the strongest. When engaging in outdoor activities, it is best to wear long-sleeved clothes and long pants, wear a hat and sunglasses, and use sunscreen products, preferably sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or above.

Both adults and children should take these precautions. Avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, X-rays and other rays. Wear cotton clothes to reduce skin irritation, and pay attention to skin hygiene to avoid bruises and infections.
