Sun block for dogs9/18/2023 Let's say a researcher wants to find out if cocaine use during pregnancy increase the risk for birth defects. Therefore randomizing someone to spend time in the sun without sunscreen would likely result in harm over time, and the risk to benefit ratio for this type of study would be unfavorable.Īnother example might help put this issue in perspective. In this case, RCTs are probably not ethical, because there is already strong evidence suggesting a causal link between sun exposure without sunscreen and skin cancer. So say you’re always wearing closed toed shoes and you see this ⚫️ on your toe, or perhaps a brown line on your nail, do not just write it off because “meh, I’m always wearing sneakers so it can’t be that” because yes it 10000% CAN be “that.” Melanoma can take 6 weeks to kill you. Your biggest risk factor for melanoma is genetics and family history. That means it can happen anywhere, any time, regardless if your health, age, or lifestyle (including whether or not you have sun exposure). Sunscreen offers some protection against melanoma, but it’s very minimal - this is because melanoma is an equal opportunity offender. They tend to show up on your face (especially your forehead or nose) and in some cases can be that red mark that comes and goes for years that you could have ignored, or perhaps didn’t notice if it was really smallīut melanoma is a different beast. The sun can lead to cancer, but generally it isn’t melanoma - sunscreen etc mainly protects against basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, which are the more common skin cancers. If you see a new mark, like a rash or a black dot ⚫️ like this, and it appears somewhere on the body that doesn’t get much sun (or even no sun), don’t assume it isn’t skin cancer.Ĭontrary to popular belief, Melanoma is not usually caused by excess sun exposure. If you see something new on your skin, go to the doctor "A healthy person wants a thousand things, a sick person only wants one(to be healthy)." I know a lot of people may not consider this health risk for something as simple as walking their dogs, but if it helps just one person, I consider this post a success. They don't know any better and if they're a breed that is more at risk to suffer complications from too much sun exposure, it's your job to prevent it!! If your dog is one of the breeds that have less fur, light thin fur, etc, they also may need some type of protection! There is sun screen for dogs. It's very important to protect yourself!! Daily sun exposure can be bad in the long term without sunscreen. It's summer and the sun is more present than ever, so you can end up in the sun multiple times a day. If you're like me, you walk your dog multiple times a day and often times for 15-30 min, maybe longer. Why YSK: It takes just 15 minutes for UV rays from the sun to damage our skin, increasing the likelihood of cancer, wrinkles and aging. Sunscreen and walks - protect yourself and your dog(s)!!
