One of the most feared diseases by all human beings, which is capable of taking a person's life in just a few months, is cancer. Many people are fighting tirelessly against it today.

It is worth mentioning that one of the main causes that can develop this disease is exposure to ultraviolet light. However, according to workers at the American Academy of Dermatology, known as AAD, they recommend checking some areas that do not have to be exposed to the sun.
The AAD recommends that areas of the foot such as the sole, toes and even the nails should be thoroughly monitored, and has commented that "research has shown that an injury to the foot can increase the risk of developing melanoma."
Experts have also stated that attention should be paid if you notice a brown or black vertical line under the nail, if it is red or in a place where there is a wound, among other situations.
