Other skin changes due to chronic exposure to nonionizing radiation - what does this mean
Chronic exposure to nonionizing radiation can cause a range of skin changes. these include dryness, discoloration, wrinkling, and thinning of the skin, as well as an increased risk of skin cancer.
What happens during the disease - other skin changes due to chronic exposure to nonionizing radiation
The pathogenesis of other skin changes due to chronic exposure to nonionizing radiation is likely related to the cumulative effect of the radiation on the skin. over time, the radiation can cause damage to the cells in the skin, leading to changes in the texture, pigmentation, and other characteristics of the skin. this can result in the development of skin lesions, discoloration, and other abnormalities.
