An interview with Dr. Carol Sim-Robertson
I interviewed Dr. Carol Sims-Robertson, M.D. who practices in St. Petersburg, Florida. A Board Certified Dermatologist and Owner of "Divine Dermatology" - www.DivineDermatology.com. Dr. Sims-Robertson has 25 years of experience in dermatology, both in Michigan and in Florida.
I asked Dr. Sims-Robertson many questions, some we have heard before, some we have not! Even "I" was enlightened with some of her answers, whilst doing this interview. So, sit down, relax and read this, you never know, it just might save your life or someone you love.
Q: How many different types of skin cancers are there doctor?
A: Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Malignant Melonoma, Merkal Cell Carcinoma, and T-Cell Lymphoma.
Q: What are the differences?
A: Squamous Cell and Basal Cell are "DIRECTLY" related to "Sun Exposure" (if these tow types are caught early - they're usually not deadly).
Q: How are the other three types different?
A: Melanoma has a "genetic" compnent, so therefore, it CAN be inherited and it is NOT necessarily related to the sun and it is "RAPIDLY FATAL"...IF NOT CAUGHT EARLY. Some OTHER melanomas HAVE been noted to be promoted by UVA from sunlight AND OR sun tanning salon/parlors. Tanning salons/parlors ARE using UVA bulbs.
Q: Now, Dr. what about the other two skin cancers?
A: Merkal Cell Carcinoma and T-Cell Lymphoma are NOT necessarily related to sun exposure, but can ALSO be FATAL.
Q: Can these two be inherited Dr. ?
A: No, they cannot.
Please stay tuned tomorrow for the rest of my interview with Dr. Carol Sims-Robertson.
