Question 36 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

Elyse is a fair-skinned girl who lives in a tropical area near the equator. Her mother had basal cell carcinoma. What condition is Elyse most at risk of, based on these factors?

Answer
A
acne
B
skin cancer
C
psoriasis
D
seborrheic eczema

Explanation

Elyse has several risk factors for skin cancer: fair skin offers less protection from ultraviolet radiation, and living near the equator means strong sun exposure. A family history of basal cell carcinoma also raises concern. Therefore, the best answer is skin cancer, not acne, psoriasis, or seborrheic eczema.
