The WWE star, who recently had skin cancer treatment, says she should have avoided tanning beds.
Alexa says she was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma, which usually starts as a lump or discoloured patch on the skin that doesn't go away.It's most often found on areas regularly exposed to the sun, such as the face, ears, hands, shoulders, upper chest and back.It affects more men than women and is more common in the elderly.
Skin cancer itself is one of the most common cancers in the world and the most serious type - melanoma - can be fatal.Sunbeds work by exposing the skin to ultra-violet radiation, similar to that found in sunshine.However, while sunlight contains a mix of UVA and UVB radiation, sunbeds produce mainly UVA radiation, which penetrates deeper into your skin.
It is estimated that 20 minutes on a sunbed can be equivalent to approximately four hours in the sun.Kathryn Clifford, co-founder of specialist skin cancer awareness charity SKCIN, says it's a "common misconception that sunbeds are a safe alternative to tanning"."Sunbeds emit the same harmful ultraviolet radiation as the sun, causing cumulative and irreversible damage to the DNA in the skin's cells.
"That significantly increases a person's risk of developing both non-melanoma skin cancer - as in Alexa's case - and melanoma."- "Look out for anything new, unusual or changing and always seek professional advice from your GP or a dermatologist with any concerns."- "Clothing is the most effective barrier between our skin and the sun. A close weave will provide better protection.
