A UV nail lamp is believed to have caused cancer in a resident of Yekaterinburg.
A rare case of subungual melanoma was diagnosed in a 52-year-old resident of Yekaterinburg during a routine medical examination by dermatovenereologists at the Sverdlovsk Regional Skin and Venereal Diseases Dispensary, reports the "Health of Ural Residents" channel of the Sverdlovsk Region Ministry of Health in MAX. Doctors link the onset of the disease to the woman's passion for gel polish, which hardens with the help of ultraviolet light.
The patient regularly had pedicures and covered her nails with a long-lasting opaque polish for an extended period. Because of this, the darkening of the nail plate area—a symptom of a pathological process—was not noticed immediately. Fortunately, luck was on the side of the doctors—they were able to help the patient this time.
Specialists are very cautious about ultraviolet lamps for drying gel polish. "Devices can cause cell death, mutations, cytotoxic effects, and oxidative stress. Therefore, girls, before getting your nails done, sign up for a health check. Just in case," writes "Health of Ural Residents."
Every year, hundreds of primary cases of melanoma and about 4,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are registered in the Sverdlovsk region. Subungual melanoma occurs significantly less frequently.
One in four cases (25%) of malignant skin neoplasms is detected during various preventive measures. Health checks and medical examinations have increased the early detection of skin diseases in the Sverdlovsk region to 80%.
Earlier, an expert from the Pirogov Clinical Medicine Institute of the Ministry of Health of Russia, in an article about melanoma, discussed the dose of ultraviolet light a woman receives during a manicure and pedicure under a UV lamp.
She also advised on how to properly use products with UV filters. An oncologist from the Sverdlovsk Oncology Dispensary also urged protecting the skin from ultraviolet light, as any tan is harmful.
