The British celebrity restaurateur said he got the skin cancer removed, sharing a picture showing a line of stitches from his earlobe to his neck.
British celebrity chef and restaurateur Gordon Ramsay shared Saturday on Instagram that he was diagnosed with skin cancer, which he said he got removed.
The fiery 58-year-old TV personality shared a picture of a bandage over part of his face and neck, and another showing a line of stitches from his earlobe to the top of his neck.
Is it possible that we get less natural UV protection from the atmosphere now? I’m just making a wild guess but we’ve had so many environmental changes and climate change has made summers so much more severe.
Yeah, that was one of the things with the cfcs causing damage to the ozone layer. I would also say a lot more pollution (including microplastics) just generally everywhere, clothing showing off more skin, and that smoking isnt causing other things first.
The ozone layer is generally back in place because that was like the last time an industry agreed to cease its harmful climate change inducing behaviors.
It isn’t actually. It stopped getting worse and is very slowly recovering. The hole is still mostly there and many parts of the ozone layer are still thinner.
They agreed because cheaper, better options became available.
Good point, and absolutely that’s a possibility, but AFAIK it was worst in the 80 or early 90’s, with huge holes in the ozone layer at the poles.
This improved when certain gasses that are harmful to the ozone layer became regulated globally. But it may have slowly deteriorated again, I’m not quite sure of the current state.
But at least now weather reports include warnings against days with particularly high UV numbers.
But still it is my clear impression that sunscreen makes some people stay out in the sun before they have a tan to protect against it, and instead use sunscreen to stay in the sun longer.
But tanning-beds could also be part of the reason.
Of course this may not not be the case for “normal” use, but with excessive use tanning beds are harmful, and you may not be as protected by sunscreen as some people think.
