What causes basal cell skin cancer?

Even if you are super fit and eat clean, physical health cannot stop UV radiation from damaging your skin cells if you work out outdoors without protection. It is caused by chronic sun exposure. Always wear sunscreen during your outdoor runs.

When I first heard the word 'cancer', I was absolutely terrified and couldn't sleep for days. It is usually caused by long-term sun exposure. Please know that basal cell carcinoma is highly treatable and grows very slowly, so take a deep breath and go see your dermatologist.

A healthy diet rich in antioxidants helps support overall skin health, but it cannot prevent or cure basal cell skin cancer which is directly caused by ultraviolet radiation from sun exposure. Please follow your doctor's advice and medical treatments strictly.

Many modern weather and fitness apps actually show the UV Index daily. Basal cell skin cancer is caused by cumulative exposure to high UV rays. It is a good habit to check the UV index before stepping out and always wear SPF 30+.

We see this question occasionally in the group. This skin condition is primarily caused by long-term, repeated exposure to the sun's UV rays, which mutates the basal cells. It is highly manageable if detected early, so please consult a dermatologist for a proper checkup.
