Tan skin may be fashionable now, but all that tanning may cause skin cancer later.
Tan skin: it’s not as nice as it looks
By Joan Herman
The sunny days after Oregon’s lengthy
monsoon season typically announce the
opening of a more pleasurable season —
tanning. The contestants display bodies
burnished in such exotic places as
^ Waikiki, Malibu — and even the sundecks
[IP and rooftops of Eugene.
The rules are simple: roast your body to
its brownest. But the solar socialites
either forget or ignore the high stakes in
volved in the tanning game: the risk of
skin cancer.
For students who are wondering if they
should enter the tanning race, Dr. James
Jackson, with tongue only slightly in
cheek, suggests they first observe their
favorite dermatologist’s skin tone —
usually pale — and figure it out for
themselves.
Although sun exposure is not the
single cause of skin cancer, it is a con
tributing factor to one of the rarest, yet
most dangerous forms of skin cancer call
ed malignant melanoma. Other forms of
skin cancer, such as squamous cell
cancer, may also be related to sun
exposure.
Among the population over 60, Jackson
estimates skin cancer is the most com
mon cancer. Although malignant
melanoma is the only fatal form of skin
cancer, other forms may require expen
sive and disfiguring surgical procedures
to cure them.
But in spite of these risks, students
continue “wearing” the latest fad.
“It’s a fashion. Jackson says, lann
ing is a social value.”
Society assumes that those who can af
ford to spend hours lounging in the sun
can also afford not to work, he says.
Ironically, only 100 years ago milk-white
skin was the ideal. Burnished skin usually
meant blue-collar manual labor.
Society also believes glowing tans
mean healthy, active bodies. But purpose
ly exposing yourself to the sun is not
healthy because it is an environmental in
sult, just as wind and salt water are
destructive forces to the skin. And true
health is much more a measure of being
cardiovascularly fit, Jackson says.
Ironically, the sexy tan on youthful skin
today often becomes wrinkles on
