The Infographic that I created is intended to spread awareness and information about Melanoma, a type of skin cancer. The first line of data that I have displayed is the different factors that have been proven to lead to skin cancer which are a history and frequency of sunburns, people who have fair skin, blue eyes and freckles are more at risk and exposure to UV lights.
Secondly, I added what age group of adolescents are most likely to develop a form of skin cancer or melanoma. Doctors have concluded that it is the second most common cancers in people from 10-29 following behind Leukemia.
Finally, I incorporated different ways that melanoma can be treated by doctors. The severity of each persons case decides how they will be treated. Most often diagnosed patients have a biopsy surgery before undergoing further treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
I decided to create my infographic about melanoma because it is a something that most people our age don’t consider when exposing themselves to the sun or UV lights.
