At Centre Pododomedic, our mission is not only to heal, but also prevent. We want to accompany our patients throughout the year with practical advice that adapts to each season. For this reason, we have decided to publish two articles dedicated to skin care: one more general and another focused on the risks of the sun during the summer.

The summer invites you to enjoy the outdoors and the sun. Tanning seems natural and even a sign of good health. But, as we will see, the sun is a necessary ally in adequate doses and a silent enemy if we don't take precautions.

We have read, and medical evidence confirms it, that there are two factors that the body “remembers” throughout life: tobacco and sun exposure. What today may seem like just a minor burn or a harmless habit, over time can translate into serious problems such as lung cancer or skin cancer.

Therefore, in these articles we talk about how to protect your skin from the sun, the warning signs to watch for, and how to maintain healthy and protected skin at any age. It is not about alarming, but about inform and care. As health professionals, we want each visit to Center Pododomedic to be an opportunity to improve the well-being of those who trust us.

We will continue to share useful and relatable content, because we believe that prevention starts with information.
