doc.MUDr.Karel Ettler, CSc.
Dermatol. praxi. 2010;4(2):86-89
Chronic exposition to ultraviolet radiation can cause skin damage – photoaging and skin cancer. Sun beds which had been not checked in the Czech Republic could contribute to these effects even in situation of threshold radiation intensity over the European norm. Tanorexia is the term now used for abuse tanning. The need of vitamin D photosynthesis in the skin has been miss-used for defence of sun bed tanning. But vitamin D could be also supplemented by diet. Public education has been suggested to stop steadily creasing incidence of skin cancer in the Czech Republic.
