cancer it's still less than skin cancer, the most common cancer in america so people can relate to this. we knew that spf and sunscreen helps but in this study coming from the ohio cervical cancer center they realize if you use sff 30 it can reduce the risk of getting melanoma by 80% which is very significant. the st it's a mouse study but will probably apply to humans. not everyone can go to doctors every month but have one of your loved ones look at your hair and the entire body and inspect. >> check the call. >> check your scalp, especially behind the ears, around the nose area, private areas, arms, legs, everywhere. >> what are they looking for? >> moles. >> for moles. >> that's very important. >> moles. when you find something that looks like melanoma and i'm so glad you prout that up. five pneumonics, a, b, c, d, if you see a lesion that's
9:31 am
asymmetric, the right and left sides don't match, color, brown or black, diameter, over 6 millimeters and the lesion is evolving, find a tiny mole and over time it's getting bigger, becoming irregular borders, please, go see your doctor. >> shouldn't you go to a dermatologist once a year to get examined? >> i completely agree with that. at least your regular doctor once a year. internists are trained to at least look for some of the issues that we're talking about here, irregular borders, changes in color. your general practicers can say that's too big. the darker it is the more rewore we and the more irregular, varies from one part to another. we worry about that. what we do to prevent this, by the way, is not just putting on the sunscreen, spf 30 as david was mentioning. got to reapply it. you go in the water. got to reapply it. >> even if it's waterproof. >> they say it's water resistant
9:32 am
but that's not totally true. you're swimming in the water. you reapply it. also, apply it in areas you weren't thinking about. we don't realize this, but actually our eyes are a problem and our scalp. you have to wear sunglasses. wear a broad-brimmed hat and should actually consider wearing long sleeves or wearing long pants. >> put it ton your ears. >> plenty of melanomas on the ear. >> melanoma, if you have one sunburn as a child, one sunburn as a child doubles your risk of melanoma. sunburns are a big deal. not just sunburns, also uvb, the deeper penetrating rays. both to worry about. >> i want to ask you as a female and black woman two questions. some makeups with spf in it. if it's not 30 do you have to apply it underneath your makeup and also with my complexion should i wear sunscreen? >> absolutely. you'll have legs risk than somebody who is very
9:33 am
light-skinned, blue eyes, red hair, so they are at higher risk than you, but you'll be at risk for getting mole noma and you absolutely have to apply this. going back to what we were tucking about screening. when you catch melanoma first, the likelihood of survival is 98%, okay. that's a great number. when it's advanced it's only 15%, guys, this is a serious segment and you need to do this. one other thing. a lot of teenagers are going to these tanning salons. it increases their risk of skin cancer. there's no debate here and i know we'll get a lot of red flags. >> do you think people should go to there? >> increases of the risk. four to five episode of bush. i've had it. four to five episodes of burn in your lifetime it increases the risk of melanoma twofold. make sure you keep the newborns away from the sun and always reapply this every two hours. >> dr. siegel, you know, hearing dr. samadi talk about the tanning beds. >> i'm not scaring you, am i? >> not at all. information is very good news, but i'm thinking you made me
9:34 am
think of something because you see the younger people there. i'm 20 something, who cares. they talk about exactly it, they are getting exposure and in the tanning beds, out on the beach. what will that come bite -- back to bite them? >> it may take years, and you know what? it's understanding something called uvb. there's two types of ultviolet light. one that's easy to know burns the heck out of you. five burns over the course of your lifetime doubles your risk of melanoma and tanning beds will give you that deep penetrating uva light and that's been shown more and more to be associated with skin canner so when you apply your sunscreen, make sure it has titanium oxide, zinc okay i'd and benzine. chemicals that is are chemical barriers. i'm a huge fan of getting sunscreen that protects against both uva and uvb. look and the label, and another thing, one last thing. don't just apply the sunscreen.
9:35 am
get out of the sun. the more time you spend in the shade during hot summer days, the better we're talking about here. we don't want direct sun exposure. as little as possible. >> the worst time during the day is between 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. >> absolutely. >> and shade is obviously the way to go and you cover yourself. >> so a tease for next week, do the self-tanners cause cancer? don't answer. we'll deal with that next week. >> sometimes if you go up to 80 or 90 on the spf. >> it's not needed 30. to 50 is as high as you go. you're increasing by a percentage point when you get beyond 50. spf 30 is more is what you want. >> difference between 30 and 100 spf is not a lot of protection. rhea i playing is more often is the more important part. >> great advice, and we'll keep in mind all through the summer and self-tanners next week. common condition that affects young and old alike and that's pancreatitis. what's the best treatment and how do you know if you've got it the? our doctors will weigh it as our
9:36 am
"sunday housecall" rolls on for this sunday afternoon. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but after lunch my knee started hurting again so... more pills. yep... another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet? for my pain... i want my aleve. get all day minor arthritis pain relief with an easy open cap. .
9:40 am
and we're back with the doctors on "sunday housecall." you know, it's the leading cause for gastrointestinal hospitalization in the u.s., and it's pancreatitis, so what is pancreatitis? what causes it and how do you treat it? dr. siegel, first of all, how do you know you have it? >> the number you were looking for is 210,000 people go to the hospital every year with acute pancreatitis and the symptoms are nausea, vomiting, pain radiating to the back and feeling unease. >> down like there? >> upper quadrant. >> over here. >> there you go, on the left side. >> on the left side. >> a little higher. >> like right behind the stomach, close to the small intestine. >> the location of the pancreas
9:41 am
is by the liver. so the liver releases into the gallbladder bile salts mixed with the enzymes coming from the pancreas and go to the small intestines. that's how you digest your food. the pancreas basically gets inflamed. normally, erik, the enzymes being releases from the pancreas do not goss any problem. something causes them to get angry. what is it, usually a gal stone and that's why i mentioned the glad bladder. if there's a gal stone it can make the pancreas inflamed and the other thing that does it is alcohol. alcoholics get a lot of pancreatitis. the digestive enzymes if released in the pancreas can erode the pancreas can get a big inflammation. treated with intravenous fluids, antibiotics and rest. usually surgery is not needed. >> what about food? always like to talk about diet. can that affect it, like spicy food? >> high-fat food is what triggers the pancreas, and if you have pancreatitis, anything
9:42 am
that ends with itis is inflammation of arthritis, pancreatitis and pancreatitis comes in two forms, acute which is very sudden. you're perfectly fine and all of a sudden you get severe pain on the left side, radiates to the back, nashua and vomiting, and in the emergency room once we get a cat scan, that's the diagnosis of pancreatitis and we admit you. once you recover from this, arthel the point is very important because you need a nutritionist to put you on a very important minerals and vitamins and low-fat diet because fat triggers it. when it becomes prolonged period, that's called chronic paining tight its, and typically things such as cystic fibrosis, lupus, a lot of high tri-glycerides. some people have tri-glycerides in the 800 and 900. those are the risks along with
9:43 am
gallstones and alcohol use. >> dr. siegel, i know you said it can be treated, but what if the pain is really not significant. i'm just take a nap. ride it out. take some aspirin or something, i don't know. what happens if you don't treat it over a period of tame in. >> that's a great point, because the symptoms we're talking about can be vague. it doesn't have to be on the left. can be in the center and be bloating. may not even have pain at all. you may just not feel right. over time if this is not created it can lead to chronic pancreatitis which is a huge, huge problem where your pancreas stops making enzymes and you end up having to replace them and put you on a low fat diet. pancreas is one of the most important organs in the body. >> only have one. >> a big organ. >> i also want to mention it also makes insulin. not the part of the pancreas we're talking about. if you have chronic pancreatitis your pancreas can get so scarred up you can get diabetes as a result. treat it early and stop
9:44 am
drinking. >> the reason you don't want to ignore it is because if you have galstones and no idea that you have it, one. stones can come and block that pancreatic duct with the common bile duct and now all the enzymes that digest your food will self-digest and auto digest the pancreas than can lead eventually to diabetes, heart disease and kidney failure and chronic pancreatitis and people can die from it. sometimes you have to go in surgically and put drainage and remove some of the infections and cysts, et cetera. can you actually help some there. >> when you say drainage, do you need a pouch or something? >> a lot of secretion. >> can this be done minimally invasion sniff. >> it k.instead of opening someone up -- >> that's a good point. you can do it happen scopically and go in and drain some of the drainage because you would have leakage for a lot of enzymes over there. good point. >> do the tom line because i'm scared of everything and i don't know what i'm going to get and it's going to hit me all of a sudden and i'm going to sit here
9:45 am
and wonder. >> no, no, stop drinking if you're drinking. >> do that and also watch out for a pain in the left back there. >> radiating. >> where's the kidney. >> in the back. >> right here. >> kidneys in the back. >> i've got you covered. don't wory. >> you've got a urologist. >> it's like, you know, can you have mind over matter, i believe. you start thinking you're going to get something. >> the greek yogurt is going to save you. >> we've treated eric for hundreds of problems. >> this is something else you need to talk about, cataracts. the leading cause of vision loss in people over 40. vision loss. but what's the best treatment? we're going to ask the doctors that very important question when "sunday housecall" continues. stick around. think fixing your windshield is a big hassle? not with safelite. this family needed their windshield replaced but they're daughters heart was set on going to the zoo. so guess what, i met them at the zoo. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage. ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

9:50 am
surgery? >> what is cataracts, basically when the lens in the eye, like a camera, when it gets cloudy, the lens in the eye is made out of water and protein, and as we wage, and he's 62 years old, so as we get older, that becomes a little clump of protein and it can become cloudy so what happens? you see the colors and they are kind of dull and the window is not so clean. at light, you know, the lights are getting too glary. times prolonged steroids can do this, smoking, talked about uv light, any kind of eye injury can do this and family history can increase the risk of cataracts. in the hand of an experienced ophthalmologist who does a lot of procedures you have over 95% to 85% cure for cataracts.
9:51 am
fairly safe operations. it's not very costly and doesn't take very long. >> do they do it like a laser surgery? >> take the old lens out and put in a clear plastic intraocular lens. there are some some complications. there's post tierior and cans lar owe passity. when you take the lens out. you leave that behind and sometimes that can become hazy and you have to use a laser to fix it. very rare and you should go ahead and fix it. because over time it can be worse. >> every seems fine. you have to go in once a year to check this sufficient. really it's because 50% of people over the age of 80 have either had their cataracts out
9:52 am
or have severe cataracts. steroids can lead to cataracts on prednisone for a while or diabetes or just aging or sunburns we were talking about earlier in the show and if you start to have dim vision and cloudy and seeing halos and having trouble seeing at night, sensitivity to claire. can all be cataract. take out a can the racket. minimally invasive. take out a probe and suck it out literally. that's a very simple procedure. takes about 15 minutes and david as lengthsed we're doing it with laser. minimal problems with this. can be an infection. can be bleeding. look, i've got to send somebody on coumadin or blood thinners for cataracts. i've got to clear everybody that goes for an operation. i want to know your blood pressure sunday control. you're not bleeding from somewhere, you don't have an infection or diabetes is under control. all those things. you get clears and then a very simple proceed sglur go to your eye doctor if you have an eye

doctor at least once a year. also change your diet and add a lot of leafy vegetables and spinach and things with anti-oxidants. studies have been done about this. >> forget about it. >> for cataracts, really. >> a lot of anti-oxidants can help you. >> and go for long steroids. >> no prednisone for a long time. >> by the way, eric has made me wear also the same glasses, so we'll look alike. you'll get a discount. >> coming up, have you heard about this, scientists taking a page from some science fiction. at least it sounds like that, that could make wrinkles, they say, a thing of the past. our doctors will break that down. wrinkle-free people next on "sunday housecall." another day, and i'm still struggling with my diabetes. okay.

9:58 am
it's a bill deal. it's a compound made partly of silicone and partly of oxygen. it's elastic. skin is a barrier to a lot of things, including infection. as we get older, that barrier breaks down. it's not just wrinkles. although i know everybody out there is going to use it for wrinkles because wrinkles are because your skin is breaking down. you put this film on. it's elastic. you can't see it. people are going to use it for cosmetic reasons. you know what i lake it for? a thicker version of this you can use to treat wounds, use it to deliver medication. if i have someone with cirrhosis, they lay down on the pillow, it rubs off. a thick version of this can keep medicine on the skin. >> what's it called? >> second skin? >> it's the technical word for it. >> does it have a trademark, can you go to the drugstore -- >> not yet. but it's come out in the top journal in the world, pretty much "nature," it's a big study
9:59 am
out of harvard. >> it's a great study. i reason i like it is because they applied this over 150 participants. no redness, no side effects. it was absolutely safe. it's basically a cream. there are two process creams. you put a little cream on your finger, you rub it around your eyes. then you put a catalyst on top of that. what it does, it creates a permeable wall that oxygen can get through. almost like your own skin. what i love about this is that if you take a shower, it's not going to go away. >> when you say catalyst, i mean what does that mean? >> it's another cream you put on top of it and it creates this very permeable but soft, at the same time it's strong. and the oxygen can get through it and you cannot wash it for about -- it stays for about 24 hours. you need another solve ant to clean it off. >> and it's clear? >> it's absolutely clear. no one will know. that's for cosmetic reasons for bags under the eyes and wrinkles, but the future of
10:00 am
this -- >> when will we get it? >> infections and burns. >> i think a year or two in the doctors' offices. >> it's big revolutionary science. very excited. >> have a good sunday, guys. see you next week. this is a fox news alert. a little over an hour ago british bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious package found just before kickoff at an english soccer game. the manchester united home game was evacuated 30 minutes before the game began. after the package was discovered at the stadium. thank you so much for spending your time with us. i'm elizabeth prann in for elizabe elizabeth bream. >> i'm leland vittert. an hour after that controlled explosion, we still don't know if that package contained anything dangerous or simply suspicious. all this h
