The ‘tattooing’ tattoo ‘stimulates the warning of serious dermatologists

Dermatologists warn against the dangers of a Tiktok trend where adolescents create “sunburn tattoos”.

This implies allowing the skin to get the sun burning while wearing stickers, adhesive tape or sunscreen to create artistic drawings.

Although some young adults have told Fox News Digital that they use their skin as a canvas to create these sunburns displays for social media and because it “looks cool”, skin care experts say that it could be harmful to skin health.

“No matter how creative or harmless it appears, all sunburn is a skin injury,” Digital Fox News with double cartridges told Fox News.

“This trend of” sun tattooing “always implies deliberate damage by UV to the skin, which – over time – can increase the risk of immediate and long -term consequences.”

Sunburn accelerates the skin aging process and raises the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form.

“A pattern that produces shapes can be cool in a photo, but it can create dangerous UV hot spots – and the damage is cumulative,” warned the doctor, who is also the founder of the Dr. Rossi skin care line.

Rossi has shared how many older patients remember the days of using iodine, baby oil and solar reflectors to sunbathe – and now they have consequences.

“I regularly see patients who had frequent tan – whether via stands or exposure – during adolescence,” he said. “In the thirties and forties, many of them have already presented precancerous lesions or real skin cancers.”

“These can lead to several surgeries, scars and melanoma, which can metastate and be fatal.”

The Dr. Sara Moghaddam, a certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon who trains at Delmarva Skin Specialists in Selbyville, Delaware, noted that the trend in tattooing sunburn is worrying and considerably increases the risk of future skin cancer in adolescents.

“Type five sunburns to five and more cloves between 15 and 20 years can increase the risk of melanoma by an individual by 80%,” Moghaddam told Fox News Digital.

When a sunburn occurs, UV radiation damages DNA in skin cells, which causes mutations that can grow cells uncontrollable, which causes skin cancer, she said.

The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) confirms that each time the skin bronted, it undergoes a certain degree of damage.

“As this damage is strengthening, you accelerate the aging of your skin and increase your risk for all types of skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest shape of skin cancer,” said the AAD website.

Prevention advice

The two dermatologists said that a spraying tanning can be a safer alternative to the creation of a temporary “tattoo” look.

“Spray tannings use dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a sugar that reacts with amino acids in the top layer of the skin, to create a temporary brown color,” said Moghaddam.

“There is no evidence that the DHA of tannings by spray is harmful; the color simply fades while the skin exfoliates naturally.”

Rossi has warned, however, that spraying tannings have a risk if it is unhale. He also warned that they do not protect against future burns.

“UV damage is insidious – it is not only a short -term image, but the consequence for life,” said a dermatologist. (istock)

To protect the skin from sun damage and reduce the risk of skin cancer, the AAD recommends seeking shade when possible, especially if “your shadow is shorter than you” and to be aware that peak sun hours are between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

A sun protection routine should include the use of a wide spectrum sunscreen and UV protective clothing, including hats and sunglasses with large edges, when the exterior, advises experts.
