Fun in the sun is not just swimsuits and tanning oil. It is also a gamble. Area dermatologists warn that too much sun can cause more than just a bad burn.

Getting into the sun may be part of the fun of summer, but sunbathers should take care to avoid overexposure of their various skin problems, including cancer.
COMMUTERS:
THELDA KESTENBAUM, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said skin cancer usually occurred in middle-aged whites. Non-hives have a lower risk of getting the disease.
According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. It is estimated that 40 to 50 percent of all people who live with skin cancer in their lives may be skin cancer in their lives. Most are capable if diagnosed and treated.
LEE R. Bittenbenger, Lawrence dermatologist, said last week that most people who have sunburn to the sun's ultraviolet rays and were most likely to develop on skin exposed to the sun. Lighter-skinned people are also susceptible to the disease he said.
Why not "AUTO-MATE"?

He said the best way to prevent skin cancer was to use common sense when out in the sun. Light-skinned people should take special precautions.
"Fair-skinned people shouldn't go out deliberately and sun-hathe." he said.
THERE IS NO reason for such people to avoid normal exposure, but they sould use a good sun-screen lotion, Bittendenbett. said. Many sun screens have a "sun protection factor" printed on the label. The higher the number, the more protection from ultraviolet rays the screen provides.

Bittenbender said that he had seen only three cases of this cancer, which can be fatal, in four years of practice in Lawrence.
A more rare and serious skin cancer is malignant melanoma, which is usually noticed as a change in the shape of the skin. A mole may itch or become secrete, he said.
"A lot of people get the aging effects of the sun," Bittendenbender said. "People come in when they are 40 and look like they're 50 or 60."
Most skin cancers form on the face, hands or arms as reddish sores that persist for months or years and will not completely heal. This type of skin cancer is 95 percent curable by removing the tumor. Bittenbender said.

Ultraviolet radiation aggravates some diseases. Some medications, including some acetone lotions, may cause them to react differently to the sun, he said.
"Some people are, in effect, allergic to the sun," Bittencumber said.
BESIDES CANCER, ultraviolet rays may also cause premature wrinkling, age spots, and a thickening of the skin, giving it a leathery appearance.
from the sun's ultraviolet rays," she said.
"The sun tanning salons are just an expensive way to do something bad to your skin." Bittenbender said.
"That gives people a little better idea of how effective the sun screen is," he said.
But the sun is not the only source of cancer-causing ultraviolet rays. The type of light used in tanning salons and sun lamps has the same effect.
Bittenbender said that most people were not concerned with the long term effects of ultraviolet rays.
