significant quantities of the fight to substance and even then not enough to cover our daily requirements as the doctors themselves know supplements are one way out of the dial but simply popping pills is not enough the skin has to play its own part which is why regular moderate sunshine is the best option. there are a growing number of indications that naturally forming vitamin d. is superior in certain areas to supplement for. longer in the blood for example and there's another advantage perhaps for you can't have an overdose. which is why thomas folks recommends reasonable exposure to the sun but what is reasonable for the inferiors monday holds especially to go out in the sun several times a week. and expose the skin on your face for arms and neck for just a few minutes time. within what's called your self protection time and preferably

2:36 pm
part of her body that's not covered up but she wasn't always so careful as a child she often played outside and back then no one bothered much with sunscreen when it's all the gong on and we go off to the beach on our bikes and when we came home in the evening we do usually have a bit of a sunburn on my me on my release days i'm much more careful my father has skin cancer on. top. bianco luck skin shows visible signs of sun damage now $49.00 she's had several cancerous growth removed including one on her temple. she 1st noticed a suspicious red saw 3 years ago. at 1st i thought it was a pimple i picked is a bit not quite some point but it got bigger. then a scab formed and it started tumbling. down thing is that's when the alarm bells started ringing dow. alarm to. lighten the hell hole basal cell carcinomas
2:37 pm
a very common people tend to wait too long before they see a doctor and then they need relatively serious surgery course for the party. what younger lot thought was a pimple was in fact a basal cell carcinoma all that's left of it today is a small scar. b.c. sees can develop anywhere on the body but that most common on parts of the body could get most exposure to the sun the head neck is hands and arms. basal cell cancer is the most common type of skin cancer. it grows slowly and is unlikely to metastasize. but a basal cell carcinoma can become quite big easily doubling in size within a year. the
2:38 pm
bigger it is the more skin surrounding it will have to be removed to remove a one centimeter tumor the doctor will also have to remove at least half a centimeter of skin around it so a bit of scarring is inevitable. when about 40 if the cancer is already the tumor can grow into cartilage sometimes into muscles nerves or even bones then we have to remove part of the nose or the ear or which is extremely unfortunate for the patient. who does it for 2 full younger like makes an appointment straight away for her next regular checkup she sees her dermatologist here at least every 6 months behaved opportunity percent of patients with a basal cell carcinoma will get another one within 3 years in that respect it's like a chronic condition patients have to keep coming back. everybody has what might be
2:39 pm
termed a personal sun exposure account over the course of a lifetime that's a maximum safe amount of ultraviolet exposure how much depends on what kind of skin one has every minute in the sun every sunburn tops up the account at some point the skin cells can take it anymore and skin cancer can result. once you can get one more dollars it can take 20 to 30 years for skin to turn cancerous and a large number of hits that is exposure to sun. distance pass yet or don't hunger in days and then the entire surface has been subjected to ultraviolet rays for the cold and the patient can't undo it in its orbital income. tonnage has a cell skin cancer it's more dangerous than basal cell carcinoma because it can metastasize. she too has to go to her dermatologist for regular checkups.
2:40 pm
to mention now many people run around for years with changes to their skin that are precursors to non-melanoma skin cancer or may even themselves be cancerous clips. a cell carcinoma develops in the square must be feeling on layer of the skin. first they're often pre-cancerous changes which can then become malignant. suspicious looking patches of skin should be checked by a dermatologist as soon as possible. treated square muscle carcinoma can grow inward into the body and if it does metastasize it tends to affect the lymph nodes . tonnage has had more than 20 carcinomas and suspicious patches of skin removed she's having another one removed today this time on her back. after the operation the tissue removed will be sent to
2:41 pm
a lab to establish if the cells are cancerous or not. regular skin checks don't take long but they can be life saving. skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. skin cancer if we have more and more over the last 10 years in germany up to 30 percent. and who's particularly at risk well a little bit it depends on the color of your skin when you have task in red or long and in life in your skin you have more at risk than you have when you have doc ask you what are the 1st warning signs you should go to see a doctor that you have only little spots and they don't have a different color and sometimes think oh it's just the needle him that does not heal and so whenever you're not sure if it's ok or not after 234 weeks at
2:42 pm
least show this to someone who can tell you that in such short a time they don't have time to or 3 weeks you know when you know then you know if you use this little spot should have healed and it did not then he sold it to someone who can tell you it's ok or it's not ok and what is the difference between this cancer and melanoma. well 1st the color of the melanoma is usually dark brown sometimes even in black and the normal musk in cancer has different colors very often wide like the color just given that you have and when you're in the growing of this moment and was skin cancer usually the most of them don't grow that past and they are not that aggressive at the mill and nobody's very aggressive yet it's very dangerous when you see on a regular day like today in germany more people died because of melanoma than compared to injuries or death people on the street but why is that what makes the
2:43 pm
1000000 noma's so dangerous. because this tells they can go anywhere in your body they can go wherever they want to like in your brain in your going there can be mew melanomas and that is worked in the end kills you not that spot on the skin what kind of federal piece do you offer in both kinds of cancer well for both kinds we have the golden rule that early you find that in the early and you treat them the better. but over the last 2 years you can treat them even when you kind of late but still the best way for both types of skin cancer is that you have to protect them to to. find them early and treat
2:44 pm
them so you said it's very dangerous if the detection of the 1000000 is very late so what is late skipping just 3 weeks before seeing a doctor or is it more like half a year well we cannot tell you that exactly it depends how deep in your skin that melanoma goes and the deep it goes the more risk is that there. yes it is in your body but in somewhere and they say that half of this and that that is that what possibly can kill you so it's a very good idea to see your doctor into denver talers just on a regular basis to get yourself checked yeah. and to make that you not only the down the toilet just have to have an eye on this any kind of doctor that ceased your skin should be careful and you yourself as a patient foot be careful when you see thumb think that you're not sure piece told this to someone who knows what it is so hard should you go see a doctor and regular basis well usually in germany we can see the patients every
2:45 pm
2nd here but patients with higher risk like haskin and a lot of spots we see them on a yearly basis and even if you need the praxis now i would tell you please come again as soon as necessary when you see new spots and something is not clear you can show up in 3 months again many people think that they can protect their skin using sunscreen but when it comes to sunscreen it's not that easy. on the right what sunscreen looks like on the skin or see through you the camera. a black layer of paste. that is it really is not permeable is it looks. like. we've come to a strip club swimming pool to come talk to some screen test how much protection does it give us. dermatologist european powers joins us here.
2:46 pm
in. our guinea pigs protein and julian. our expert has some sunscreen with some protection factor 50 ready for them it's supposed to be water resistant. first year fixed. means that it takes 50 times longer to burn skin when a sunscreen has been applied than it would without it but julian's made his 1st mistake . as you can see that he hasn't applied the sunscreen very well around the lips the nose the ears eyes and forehead. and those are the places where we damage tala jests tend to find skin cancer most often out of. our expert also explains that in and julian haven't used enough sunscreen they've used a tablespoon each in fact the recommended amount is 3 tablespoons. but
2:47 pm
are they at least protected as long as they're supposed to be. even after splashing around in the water for 20 minutes. sunscreen is sold as water resistant what exactly does that mean. over the expert. in. a sunscreen is allowed to be sold as water resistant if it retains at least half of its sun protection factor after you've been in water although of course it depends how much you've been in the water if you showered afterwards and how vigorously you dried yourself with a towel so you shouldn't assume your sunscreen is waterproof you should always reapply it. so in order to ensure sun protection factor 50 all day long you need to apply a glass full of sunscreen over the course of the day. that's why no one does that if you apply that much sunscreen and one day you'd look like
2:48 pm
a breaded schnitzel. sunscreens can only provide a degree of protection against skin cancer that's due to the different wavelengths of the ultraviolet radiation of sunlight which is divided into uva and u.v.b. . also known as the imp of india if you. use sunscreen you'll have less sunburn because sunscreen protects pretty well against ultraviolet b. but relatively poorly against ultraviolet a and it's usually a that it increases the risk of malignant melanoma hurts just lisi call for spots and how it's. sunscreen alone doesn't offer 100 percent protection against skin damage and skin cancer it's best not to spend too long in the sun well deal wearing sunscreen or not. our topic today has attracted a lot of your questions and i will now ask the most important ones and the most popular ones and you can get some protection in the form of cream or spray or
2:49 pm
lotion and there are a chemical food has a physical filters so which one do you recommend but in the end it's not that important which one you truth it's important that you use one and use one that unites and one that has enough sun protection and that you cover all the places of your skin that you bring in the sun. how important is some protection for children even more important and then for the grown ups we know this from databases from australia we have to protect the children and we do it now around the world some goods that you have in your childhood that make skin cancer later on and when you grow up with that piece keep with it and even if you hold nice protect your skin that some men that know was the non-melanoma skin cancer don't
2:50 pm
have a great chance to appear on your skin there's a german fading that says your skin never forgets so what's that about well we said this to our patients in the past and the more sunlight you get over your lifetime the higher is your risk but. there is a battle in this because you have to think even when you let's say over 70 over 80 even over 90 please protect your skin when you go out in the sun when you go out in the garden it's better to have some protection because of early forms of this non-melanoma skin cancer can even go back so peace use protection next question some protection does not only consist of creeds so what else is important well for example we sit here in the sun all day long this is not a good idea so we if you sit here longer go in the shade and use
2:51 pm
long sleeves use the head and. don't be in the direct sun and on myth of the day new please go inside if possible another very interesting christian lycopene like in tomatoes oh and carrots and they supposed to protect your skin from the inside so there's a very reliable method to protect the skin and to be clear with that we don't have a very good database for this so we can not tell to the people please and use one kilo off tomatoes and 2 carrots and then you are protected we don't have that and we can not give this as a good advice thanks so much for answer all my questions. yes this is how it works here in good shape the present just sits in the sun and is relaxing and you have told me you have to do all the work and send us all your questions. on an upcoming show we'll be looking at personality disorders ranging from borderline to
2:52 pm
narcissistic how are they diagnosed what are the symptoms and how can they be treated your questions to in good shape it did help you dot com the key word just personality disorders we look forward to hearing from you. you can protect your body using sunscreen except in one place your eyes but there's something that could help. shades and you should really use them because they can protect your eyes from serious diseases caused by ultraviolet rays from noma from cataracts and even macular degeneration but how to find the right time glasses this is what i'm going to find out now. and i'm with let up on t. has a better off signs in tama tree and she works at a brilliant in berlin thanks for having me so what about this year's fashion trends of sunglasses and i the top of the list i think you'll have more next year.
2:53 pm
but you have to know everything is nice what you like but it's not all about fashion it's more about function and sort of what we have to look out for the sun does you have to look for the right protection against also sun rays and also very important against your ultraviolet rays so you can look. and see on some of the frames a little decoder you can read you the 400 also you can check it so you can check this piece yes of course yeah you do it so he can take it here. and you can see this little you'll be here and when we make a board like this you can see yes you got a nice altro violet. well yes so it's good yes so what else to have to look out for . i think the size of the lenses as an important thing because you need the. lenses to help protect against the sun and also the colors are very important here
2:54 pm
there are different kind of colors like like yellow brownish or black so which is the best there are 3 colors gray brow and and green which is best because you will see everything was the most clear and i saw the color some like yellow a little bit different but orders so you've got different models. which is the best . next to my. heart i think this could be a very nice one if you ask me it's a little better about it depends on what this is about but why is this one a good one because it's a little bit larger also you have more lands in front of your eyes and also those hind sight on the temples a little bit sick and so you have more protect side are you thinking yeah this is bigger so just tell us i'm getting directly into your eye and this is also one of the newest frames if you saw this is absolutely today ok and the other one so it's
2:55 pm
a nice one it's what most people called and classic and john ok it's a classic model yes makes us pause think 40 years ok and it's good so it's timeless yeah perfect and then what about the glare of the lenses is it important that you try to get rid of the gap from this. yes you have to do a bit of bach lenses you have to dock lenses and you need also to flex and cold on the back side right why on the back side i mean the big that is the one i'm looking through it yes so this is only you need some deflection called on this one because you look through the lenses and then you've got a light and you're back on the sun and you do not have these other friction coating you will have reflects on the back side of the lenses and you only sees a fraction also the you erase will be reflected and got can go inside your eyes and there's a good under flexion called it wouldn't happen so it would be much nicer for us thanks so much for this talk. he says it not only for the talk but also for the
